The Creed frontman will hit the road in March to support his new solo album
In March, Scott Stapp is hitting the road. The Creed frontman is embarking on the first leg of his Higher Power Tour to promote his forthcoming solo record of the same name. The trek kicks off on March 10 at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida and wraps up on March 22 at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa.
Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday, January 19 at 10am local time.
Stapp’s fourth solo LP, Higher Power, arrives on March 15 thought Napalm Records. Stapp previously revealed the lead single, “What I Deserve,” which features an appearance by award-winning guitar great, Yiannis Papadopoulos. The album’s title tracked followed.
“We all want back what we give,” Stapp says. “‘What I Deserve’ is about two people understanding who they are individually and coming to a place where they can express exactly what they each want, need, and deserve. The duality in the song is that both sides are expressing the same thing and coming to an understanding of the faults of the other. This song pleads both guilty and innocent with Yiannis’ guitar solo being the voice that articulates a chaotic search for deliverance and the epic release of passionate closure.”
The album describes a metamorphosis forged by loss, frustration, betrayal and near defeat. In addition to Papadopoulos, the record also features a stand-out performances by Dorothy. Multi-GRAMMY® Award winning songwriter and musician, Steve McEwan, makes a co-writing appearance on the album.
Stapp says, “Higher Power was born out of never ending consequences with triggered, yet naive defiance,” Stapp says of the record. “It’s the realities and realizations of being human in this experiment we call life – holding onto hope in the dark waiting for the light.”
The GRAMMY® Award-winning Stapp released his last album, The Space Between the Shadows, back in 2019. Anchored by the hit single, “Purpose for Pain,” the record also featured fan favorites “Face of the Sun” and “Survivor.” The album debuted at No. 3 on the US Current Rock Albums chart, the U.S. Current Hard Music Albums chart, and the UK Official Rock and Metal Chart. It cracked the Billboard 200 at No. 137.
