Maxwell’s traveling on “BLACKheat”
He got a short rest after the July 4th holiday, but R&B Crooner Maxwell is back at it, currently touring the South with plans to move through the Northeast later this month - you don’t want to miss it!
Maxwell is supporting his first collection in almost a DECADE! It’s hard to belive he’s been out of the scene for that long. “BLACKsummers’night” hit shelves on July 7th, and is expected to be the first of a trilogy, with subsequent albums “BlackSUMMERS’night” and “Blacksummers’NIGHT” to be released in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
The tour includes a lot of intimate venues to reconnect with fans, though he’s also working some bigger stages - he also headlined the New Orleans’ Essence Music Festival on July 4th.
Maxwell spent most of last fall on the road - his first time touring in almost six years.
In 1996, Maxwell released the incredibly popular and critically acclaimed “Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite,” and in 2001 he released “Now.”
