Enigmatic singer-songwriter John Mark McMillan launches the 25-city “The Economy Class Spring Tour: A Mighty Raucous Evening with John Mark McMillan and Friends” hitting Nashville April 15 at 12th & Porter with special guests Kye Kye and Jude Moses. The tour follows the fall release of his widely acclaimed and commercially successful sophomore album, Economy. Available on Integrity Music and distributed by Provident and RED/Sony, McMillan’s Economy became a Top 20 iTunes® overall “LP” hit and was recently tapped by ABC Network for its Grey’s Anatomy promotions. McMillan’s “Seen A Darkness” was featured on the 30-second promo for the show’s episode, “Hope for the Hopeless” (Season 8: Episode 12), which aired on Thursday, January 12 (www.tvfanatic.com).

Music fans will be able to hear more new songs from Economy, as well as fan favorites, on McMillan’s “Mighty Raucous Evening” tour that travels across the Southern and Eastern US hitting New York City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Boston, Atlanta, Birmingham and other major markets before wrapping up in Jacksonville April 21.

“The ruckus rolls again in early spring of 2012,” says McMillan. “We hope to see many of you as we visit your fine cities, sharing new songs, telling new stories and introducing you to new friends. I hope you will welcome us into your communities and help cause a bit of a scene together for a few hours. After all, this is something we want to do together, so bring your voice, bring your story and bring your heart.”
