In 2020, Daughtry released its newest single, “World on Fire,” from the “Dearly Beloved” album, which marked the band’s return to its rock roots and the top of the rock charts in the United States.
On Saturday, May 7, at 8 p.m., Daughtry will bring its “Dearly Beloved” tour to the ETSU Martin Center for the Arts in the ETSU Foundation Grand Hall. The concert will also feature Canadian rock band Big Wreck. Local tickets go on sale Friday, March 25, at 10 a.m.
Their debut album, the self-titled “Daughtry,” was the top-selling album of 2007, producing four Top 20 platinum-selling singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the fastest-selling rock debut album in Soundscan history.
It was also nominated for four Grammy Awards and won four American Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards including Album of the Year. The subsequent albums, “Leave This Town” (2009), “Break The Spell” (2011), “Baptized” (2013) and “Cage To Rattle” (2018) were all certified gold and placed in the top 10 in the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.
“So many of us became devoted fans of Chris Daughtry years ago,” says Jennifer Clements, executive director of the ETSU Martin Center and University Events. “We are so glad the band is back on tour with its new album and has scheduled a night in Johnson City at the Martin Center. I know they’ll set the place ‘on fire’ with their distinctive brand of rock.”
