The tour, which will visit New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and San Francisco, will feature material from Connick’s recent album “Songs I Heard,” which includes songs from “The Sound of Music,” “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory” and “Mary Poppins.”
Connick, the father of three children, will be accompanied on the tour by a small group of musicians from his big band.
In October of last year, Connick simultaneously released the albums “Songs I Heard” and “30.” The latter is a New Orleans-influenced collection that features guest appearances by jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the late gospel vocalist Rev. James Moore, who died in 2000.
