Multi-platinum melodic rockers Goo Goo Dolls have announced an intimate acoustic run, The Otis Midnight Sessions Tour. The intimate trek is set to begin on April 7 at the Carrie Theatre in Syracuse, NY and finish on April 27 at The Myer Theatre in Green Bay, WI. The band is currently on a brief North American winter tour right which kicked off on January 18 at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ. Their latest album, Magnetic, hit #8 on the Billboard Top 200 and sold over 29,000 copies in it’s first week of sales. The album registered at #28 on TheRockRevival.com’s list of the Top 50 Rock Albums of 2013.
Goo Goo Dolls are one of the greatest artists of their generation. The band is
certainly one of the most accomplished acts of all time, with 14 Top 10 Radio hits, more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format. Their last five albums have all charted in the Top 30 on the Billboard Top 200. Their triple platinum 1998 release, Dizzy Up The Girl, spawned four massive hit singles, including “Iris”. The band’s biggest hit, it spent nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and held the #1 spot for 17 consecutive weeks. John Rzeznik has been honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award. Throughout their career, they have been nominated for four Grammy Awards, and are the only artist to have three songs on Billboard’s “Top 100 Songs from 1992-2012″ including the #1 slot, for “Iris.” This past summer, Goo Goo Dolls mounted a massive summer co-headlining tour with contemporaries Matchbox Twenty. – by Matt Bishop (Top Left Photo by Matt Bishop)
