Four-time GRAMMY nominated and American Music Award winning artist Matthew West announces his upcoming tour, "Hello My Name Is...The Acoustic Tour," which begins March 13 through the end of April. This exclusive tour will be an evening of acoustic songs and stories with West from his acclaimed album Into The Light.
"I started out as just a guy and a guitar in a Barnes & Noble bookstore, playing for free coffee and tips," shares West. "Over the years I have been so blessed to see God continue to expand the platform He has given me. My band and I have traveled the country, playing in churches, theaters, summer festivals, and even in arenas. While I am so thankful to see so many of my dreams come true and the shows getting bigger and bigger, I never want to forget how it all began. This is the heart behind this tour. There's something undeniably special about taking the stage in a more intimate setting. I'm a storyteller at heart, and I can't wait to spend an evening with the audience telling powerful, true stories, and singing the songs that were inspired by them."
Into The Light has produced two radio hit singles - "Forgiveness" and the record-breaking single "Hello My Name Is" that became the first single to chart for 17 weeks straight as No. 1 on the National Christian Audience radio chart. While the aforementioned single continues to chart, West has released a new single from the GRAMMY-nominated album currently at radio and charted the first week out of the gate. "Do Something" is currently charting at No. 23 on the National Christian Audience chart, No. 22 on AC Monitored and No. 18 on AC Indicator charts.
