Clay Aiken will be on tour shortly to promote his new album “Tried and True”, Clay will be touring with his friend and colleague Ruben Studdard on the “Timeless” tour.
Clay’s selection of classics that he recorded on Tried and True, was his personal selection of songs, that he wanted to record for a long time. Clay recorded the album that he wanted, his fans wanted, and received; which is a great album of timeless classics.
Since the songs on Tried and True are classics, it is only appropriate to have the tour of the same name.

Hi George! I'll be at the Reno concert on July 31st - I'm very excited! I've never had the opportunity to see Ruben live, but I know that there is nothing like seeing Clay in person. He engages the crowd and makes each concert a one-of-a-kind experience.
Thanks for the nice write up and I'll be back after my concert experience!
July 16, 2010 at 4:26 PM
I am so glad that I will be attending 3 of the concerts. You can never hear too much Clay Aiken.
Tried & True is an amazing album and Clay's voice soars on the great songs.
Thanks for posting the information.
July 16, 2010 at 4:34 PM
I'll be attending the first and last concerts on the tour. Clay Aiken never fails to put on a wonderful concert and I have never seen Ruben live, so I can't wait!!!
July 16, 2010 at 4:35 PM
I'll be at the Ashville concert and am really looking forward to seeing Clay and Ruben together again.
Clay's 'Tried and True' CD is wonderful so I'm hoping to hear some of these songs live, delived as only Clay can deliver them.
July 16, 2010 at 4:45 PM
The tour is going to fantastic and the CD - Tried and True is amazing!
July 16, 2010 at 4:52 PM
I will be at the Asheville Concert and the Biloxi Concert. This will be the first time for me to see Ruben in person, and I am looking forward to it.
Clay always gives an an outstanding concert performance. These will be wonderful concerts, and Clay and Ruben will be fun to watch together.
July 16, 2010 at 5:00 PM
Love the CD and cannot wait to see Clay live once again. He is magnetic! Will be nice to see Ruben again as well.
July 16, 2010 at 5:08 PM
I'll be in Asheville one week from tonight! Can't wait. It's been nearly three years since I saw Clay on tour.
July 16, 2010 at 5:08 PM
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for the comments, Glad to see everyone likes the post, and more importantly Clay. It is guaranteed to be an excellent tour, the venues are theatre style locations, so acoutics should be great, which will just deliver Clay's vocals and the music just perfectly.
July 16, 2010 at 5:28 PM
The Asheville concert at the Biltmore estate on July 23rd is missing from the list, but I'll be there.
There is nothing like seeing and hearing Clay Aiken live! He is as much a comedian as he is a singer and I've loved every concert of his I've been to.
I'm also looking forward to seeing and hearing Rubin, as I haven't heard him since the idol days.
It's just a week from today! YES!!!

I will be in Los Angeles nokia theatre
Looking forward to seeing Clay
Thanks for the well written article
July 16, 2010 at 5:35 PM
I cannot wait to see Clay Aiken and Ruben in Reno...I have been to Clay concerts before and may I say that he is absolutely wonderful live! His banter with the audience is so funny, of course his voice is just wonderful too.
July 16, 2010 at 5:35 PM
Thanks for the nice write-up!! Me and my cousin will be seeing him in concert at the Silver Legacy in Reno, and the excitement is in the air.
July 16, 2010 at 5:37 PM
I am really looking forward to the 3 concerts that I am attending. I have seen Clay many times, but not Ruben. I am sure they will be great together. I love Clay's new cd.
July 16, 2010 at 5:46 PM
Can't wait to see and hear Clay & Ruben in Foxwoods, American Music Theatre, Hampton Beach Ballroom, Hammerstein Ballroom and Turning Stone Casino. Love the cd Tried & True.

I will be seeing Clay and Ruben at the Kings Center in Melbourne, Florida. His shows are so dynamic and he always has something funny to say to the audience. I am very excited and have only 9 days to wait. Love his CD Tried and True.
July 16, 2010 at 6:18 PM
George, you really summed it up when you said you have to see Clay "live to really feel the magic, emotions, and raw power of his vocal talent." He is one of the most dynamic performers I've ever seen in person!! His rapport with the audience, his delivery of every song and his personality are really a sight to behold. I'll be seeing him in Snoqualmie and at the Silver Legacy. Can hardly wait.
July 16, 2010 at 6:36 PM
Can't wait to see clay again! so miss him touring. the new CD is amazing. so beautiful.
July 16, 2010 at 6:39 PM
I will be seeing Clay in CT and in NH and I can't wait. Clay in concert is amazing and it will be fun to see Ruben too. Clay's album Tried & True is wonderful! Thanks so much for such a nice article.
July 16, 2010 at 6:43 PM
Hi George: You must have studied Clay a lot because you hit the nail right on the head...The guy can entertain a crowd and his banter and interation with the crowd at every venue is quite different from the other. But, that voice just leaves you wanting more. You leave and days after you walk around with that warm grin on your face.....Clay Aiken can do that to you like no one else can. Thank you for the great article. Can't wait for my tour date to get here in Melbourne.
July 16, 2010 at 9:34 PM
Thank you Sue, and everyone else for the comments. I am hoping There will be extra dates added to Clay's tour, So I could see him live.
There is only one Date in Canada and it's Windsor. Clay!! Canada Loves you, come to Montreal so I could have a first hand experience of your live concert.
George

The actual album tour is NEXT year, but this one will be great songs from the 50', 60's and 70's, I believe. Should be absolutely super!
Ruben and Clay are close friends, and it will show on stage. They are very funny together. Clay's voice is just incredible, and Ruben has a nice, smooth sound. What a combo!
July 17, 2010 at 2:12 PM
At least on THIS tour, since Ruben will be there, somebody will actually remember the words to the songs. Aiken never can. The Claymates think that's just sooooo cute, but it's very unprofessional and annoying. Once in a while would be understandable, but he forgets lyrics all the time. And that horrible banter!! Claymates are obviously easily entertained. I feel sorry for Ruben's fans who will be subjected to the poor excuse for an entertainer that Clay Aiken is.
July 17, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Anonymous at 2:12....What a sad life you have.
July 17, 2010 at 3:40 PM
My husband and I are looking forward to seeing Clay in concert for the first time in Reno.
July 17, 2010 at 3:41 PM
Clay's been entertaining, and enaging audiences, for 7 years. The fans as well as 'newbies' in the audiences from the concerts I've been to all really enjoy him. The banter and the occassional forgotten lyrics are all part of the fun.
If his concert style is not for you, no need to rain on everyone else's parade.
I'm really looking forward to seeing him and Ruben together again. Should prove to be a really good show.
July 17, 2010 at 4:06 PM
Anonymous 2:12. Remember Clay actually sings the lyrics,no lip synching. Whatever, he always entertains and once the ARLG Aiken Random Lyric Generator, might kick in, as it does with every LIVE performer. Think you have an agenda and are fooling nobody anymore.
July 17, 2010 at 4:10 PM
I don't mind a hater posting here but at least tell the truth. Clay does not forget the lyrics "all the time"......In fact for the NAT, I suspect the lyric problem he had on When You Say You Love me was "schtick" as in on purpose.
July 17, 2010 at 4:40 PM
To that anonymous who posted at 2:12 PM.
About Ruben fans, nothing against Ruben but I doubt there will be many of his fans at the concerts. I wonder why you are taking the time to post. I think the reason of so much hatred lately is that they can't stand that Clay has been everywhere on the last few months, and in a good way, I'm glad because he deserves it! Besides the tour, his PBS special will star being aired in August, also his Disney involvement is a big deal. I love it all!
July 17, 2010 at 4:44 PM
I just scored great tix for Asheville on ebay so I am so excited to be going to the first stop!! (and a bunch more!!) Clay is awesome and so much fun in concert!! I only ever saw Clay and Ruben together for the Idol tour, but they were so fun together! I can't wait!
July 17, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Hey, George, hello! You forgot Asheville, NC! This Friday July 23rd at the Biltmore Its the FIRST STOP!!!
(this comment brought to you by the exclamation point!!!)
July 17, 2010 at 5:21 PM
Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for your comment, and thank you everyone for commenting on this post and Clay.
Ok: For the record I purposely did not include his first date in Ashville, NC (July 23rd.) I know it is the first show of the tour.
This was intended as a Good Luck Omen!!! to not inlcude the first date in the concert listing.
But I do thank you for pointing it out. All of Clay's fans know where the first show starts and when it starts.
George
July 17, 2010 at 6:03 PM
George, you are too cool!! Hope you get to see one of these shows.
Thanks for your great support of Clay (and Ruben)!
July 17, 2010 at 6:54 PM
George, I hope you get to go to a show. Clay live is awesome.
And for those who don't like him I have 2 words. Stay home!
I have to be content with seeing the PBS concert live and seeing him in Bringing Broadway Home. I really wanted to go to Asheville but it's just not possible.
July 17, 2010 at 6:55 PM
I have tickets for Reno and LA (it's my birthday week!!) - Clay in concert, I agree, s top notch. I'm actually really looking forward to Ruben as well. Thanks for the great review!
July 17, 2010 at 6:57 PM
P.S. Ruben is great too.
July 17, 2010 at 7:18 PM
You are right--there's nothing like "Clay live"!! His voice ia amazing and I always enjoy the banter. Should be extra fun with Ruben there. I'm lucky enough to be going to two--CT and NH.
July 17, 2010 at 7:36 PM
Oh no, George, I hope I didnt jinx him!! Nah! Nothing could, Clay is just the best live!! And about the person saying forgetting lyrics is 'unprofessional' what am I at a business conference haha WHO CARES!?! Its Clay!! He is so funny especially when he screws up!
I miss seeing him on tour so much, I am beyond excited!! 5 days!!!
I hope he and Ruben do some kind of funky rap or something. That would be so much FUN!
July 18, 2010 at 5:01 AM
There's no such "good omen" as "omitting listing the first show."
July 18, 2010 at 7:13 AM
Along with everyone else, I can't wait to see this show. I love Clay! There's truly no entertainer like him out there. A fantastic voice and FUN personality enthralls the audience. And I like Ruben a lot too. I think he'll be a great addition to the show. Bring it on!
July 18, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Thank you for the nice article!! I'm looking forward to the Asheville, NC concert. It is a lovely venue. Love Clay and am really looking forward to seeing Ruben as I've never seen hm in concert. These two guys together are a total hoot. I've been to many of Clay's concerts and they are always a joy so this will be a special treat to see these two great friends perform together.
July 19, 2010 at 7:51 AM
I'm heading for Reno, and I can hardly wait. It's been way to long since I've seen Clay on stage. I adore him, alwasys have, always will. Thank you for the great preview! Will write back after the show.
July 19, 2010 at 8:57 AM
I just watched the promo video for Tried and True, The man has an amazing voice. I am sure the concerts will be phenomenal. Clay is truely a talented artist.
July 19, 2010 at 1:05 PM
4 days until I see Clay in concert!!! I have not seen him in so long I am so excited! My friends and I are taking a road trip!!
I hope I dont do something stupid like skip out of work and head down to Florida afterwards!! We've done that too because Clay is just SO GOOD and so much FUN to follow!
August 12, 2010 at 7:59 PM
I went to the Hampton Beach tour show. I loved every min of the show. I wish there was a CD of all the music from the show. This was the BEST show ever.
August 12, 2010 at 8:31 PM
I just got home from the ny concert at the turning stone and it was fantastic! Clay and Ruben together are great. They were funny and so well blended musically it was a great show I think one of the best I have ever seen with Clay and I have seen him 5 times so far.
August 13, 2010 at 6:39 AM
Glad to hear you enjoyed the show, and thank you for posting your comments. which songs did you enjoy most?
January 18, 2011 at 6:34 PM
