MATT WHITE HITS THE ROAD IN SUPPORT OF NEW SINGLE “LOVE” AND GAP’S “VOTE” INITIATIVE | News

IGA — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:17:00 GMT

Santa Monica, California, August 13, 2008 - Matt White is gearing up for a late summer tour hooking up with Kate Voegele on a month’s worth of dates in support of his new single “Love” off his debut Geffen release Best Days.

Along the way, Matt will be performing acoustically at select Gap stores in support of the iconic brand’s ‘Vote’ initiative, which gives people a platform to express their ideas and opinions via the classic Gap t-shirt. During the in-store events, people can customize a free Gap “Vote for ____” t-shirt with whatever they feel passionate about. Earlier this month, Matt White created his own “Vote for Love” t-shirt, which he’ll wear throughout the tour. The t-shirt can also be seen in his upcoming video “Love,” which was shot recently inside a New York City public bus and debuts this fall on video outlets.

Matt White's debut album Best Days was released on Geffen Records in the fall of 2007. Rolling Stone Magazine praised the set for “updating classic Billy-and-Elton-style Top Forty with Tears for Fears melodrama, Lovin' Spoonful sunshine, even a touch of Freddie Mercury-style falsetto theatrics." Details Magazine included "Best Days" in their "best new music bubbling from the underground" section while Elle Magazine applauded, “’Best Days’ is an infectious record of blue-eyed piano-and-guitar soul that’s expertly arranged.” Entertainment Weekly raved Matt "echoes the bittersweet musings of Jeff Buckley."

Since the release of "Best Days," Matt has entered the Billboard Charts, the video for his single "Best Days" has been added to VH1 and MTV, Matt appeared on the “CBS Early Show” and “Last Call With Carson Daly” and various songs from his debut album have appeared in movies and tv shows including "Little Manhattan," "Because I Said So," "She's The Man," "The Hills," "Men In Trees," "Laguna Beach" and "One Tree Hill."
