Cameron Whitcomb is stepping up. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter just announced The Kingdom of Fear Tour, his largest US headline run to date, kicking off September 24 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and wrapping October 31 at Houston’s House of Blues.

The tour hits some serious rooms. Atlanta’s Tabernacle, Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, LA’s Wiltern, and Austin’s Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater are all on the itinerary. Presales start Tuesday, May 12, with general on-sale Friday, May 15. A dollar from every ticket goes to Project Healthy Minds.

This comes on the heels of Whitcomb’s new EP Deep Water, out now via Atlantic Outpost. The title track’s explosive single “Kingdom of Fear” is his highest-charting song to date in the US, Australia, UK, and Canada. He’ll perform it live on the American Idol finale May 11.

Whitcomb’s already deep into a relentless tour schedule. He’s wrapping sold-out shows across Australia and New Zealand, just finished packed rooms in Boston and New York on his Fragile Egos Tour, and he’s still supporting HARDY through the summer. Earlier this year, he took home two JUNO Awards, including Breakthrough Artist.

The BC native left home at 17 to work on a pipeline before finding music. Now he’s got 7.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and over 835 million global streams. Not bad for a kid who’s barely old enough to rent a car.
