David Cook - First Tour Announced!

David Cook's first tour "The Declaration Tour 2009", has been scheduled in support of his self-titled album.

Here's what David had to say on the upcoming tour:

"I’m more than excited to hop on the road and support this record. This tour represents both a new beginning and a return to form for me," David says. "It’s our first full tour, and we’re all ready to pour whatever blood, sweat, and tears that we can muster into making this show, and every show from here on out, an experience. Part of that experience is bringing back this college tour idea. There’s something inherently nostalgic about playing college shows. So many amazing acts used to do it, so it’s nice to be able to bring that ideal back, in some small way. And besides, touring on a bus beats what we used to do, which was cram five guys into a seven passenger van for one show, 13 hours away…"
