Ciara Confirms US Tour Plans, Announces Musician Auditions for Upcoming Trek

PR NewswireOn the heels of releasing the video for “I Bet,” Ciara has confirmed she’s gearing up to embark on a North American tour — and she’s looking for a brand-new band to take on the road.

The singer has announced she’ll be conducting auditions for drummer, bass player and guitarist this Friday, March 13 at SIR Studios in Los Angeles from 2 p.m.  to 6 p.m. PT.

“I am so excited about this tour,” Ciara says in a statement.  “It has been almost six years since my last tour.  I feel this album is my best body of work.  It is important to me that my fans have the greatest show experience possible. On the ‘Jackie’ tour, fans will get a chance to know me more intimately, jam to good music, and most importantly be entertained.  I cannot wait!”

Ciara’s long-time Music Director, Kim Burse, chimes in: “I have been working with Ciara musically since she debuted her first album.  Her strength is truly as a stage performer, which makes working with her an inviting challenge and pleasure.  Her ability to continue to grow impresses me greatly.  We plan to give the fans something exciting!”

While further details surrounding the tour have yet to be revealed, Ci Ci has hinted that her forthcoming album, Jackie, will arrive this May.
