Carrie’s “Play On Tour” Re-Launches w/ Fall Leg 9/25

Multiple CMA Award nominee and show co-host Carrie Underwood will kick off the fall leg of her highly acclaimed headline arena tour, the “Play On Tour,” hydrated by vitamin water® and sponsored by Olay, this Saturday, September 25 in Portland, Oregon at the Rose Garden Arena. The tour will play 47 cities before wrapping December 19 in Calgary, Alberta. By the close of this leg, Underwood will have performed over 100 shows throughout the U.S. and Canada on the “Play On Tour” in 2010. Special guests this fall are Billy Currington and Sons of Sylvia.

Underwood will donate 36 cents of every ticket sold to Save the Children’s United States Programs. This initiative was inspired by the “36 cents” written in the lyrics of her album track “Change,” which addresses how even the smallest bit of spare change that one might have can add up to make a difference and help “change” the world.

The three-month spring leg of the “Play On Tour” was performed in front of nearly 400,000 fans and nearly sold out all 54 shows throughout North America, bringing along special guests Craig Morgan and Sons of Sylvia.

Underwood is a five-time Grammy Award winner, a member of the Grand Ole Opry, two-time reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, and three-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist winner. Carrie Underwood has amassed more than 12 million in album sales since her debut CD in 2005 and has placed 13 #1 singles on the charts.
