Right before Spring, we were informed that Clay would be performing approximately 20 orchestra dates across the U.S. this summer in July and August. Through the next few months there was quite a bit of conflicting information...but the show does go on. Clay unofficially named it the "soft rock and a hard place" tour in a blog in June. There was no official press release and very little promotion, but as usual the tour itself started out with a blast.
If you click on the links, you will find information about the
performers, lyrics to the songs and even photo links for some cities. If you have information
you want to share, please email us at clayaikenkids@gmail.com.
The regular concert list:First Half: The concerts varied somewhat but they started out with these songs: I Want to Know What Love Is w/Quiana Parler When I See You Smile He always did a When the Lights Go Down – Quiana Parler Second Half: He sang A thousand days for some and then he stopped singing it and added Right here waiting. Then he sang both. He also sang Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word in some concerts as well as Measure of a Man. The variety was quite fun. He sang Without You and The Way You Make me Feel. The “Classics” Medley – Baby Got Back, Like a Virgin, Bills, Bills, Bills, 1999, She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy, Oops, I Did It Again, OPP, Yeah, SexyBack, Achy Breaky Heart, Opposites Attract, Beat it Listen– Angela Banter Lover All Alone The set list in Frisco was a little different due to time constraints and the addition of God Bless the USA for our nation's birthday.
