Live at Mohegan Sun Arena October 18th
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 30, 2024) – Stephen Sanchez is hitting the road again! This summer, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter begins a major touring run with special guest The Paper Kites, including an 8:00pm Mohegan Sun Arena show on Friday, October 18th.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 3rd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Subject to availability, Sanchez fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, May 4th.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Angel Face (Club Deluxe), the highly anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed debut album, Angel Face, which was released last Friday. The deluxe album features five new tracks, including spellbinding hit “The Other Side,” plus the fan favorite duet version of his 4x-platinum smash “Until I Found You” [with Em Beihold].
Stephen’s live shows are truly exceptional – he sold out his fall 2023 tour and was met with praise from fans and critics alike. The Washington Post remarked, “[It] was Sanchez’s voice that was most captivating: velvety, with a controlled, era-appropriate vibrato that echoes back to the likes of Roy Orbison. His vocals were topped with a stage presence that crossed Elvis Presley with Michael Jackson.” On the crowd’s energy, The Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote, “They screamed, they swooned, they sang along with the suaver than suave 20-year-old retro pop heartthrob who showed an Orbisonian voice and an extravagance of early Elvis energy and moves.”
Singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez has materialized at the forefront of popular culture with a sound that’s as timeless as it is necessary for the times. It’s easy to sway into the embrace of his breezy baritone stylings, warm guitar sounds, and untouchable charisma. His music is also an eternal bright spot illuminated by a belief that the kind of romance and love we used to see on the silver screen is still possible. At just 21-years-old, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist has already enchanted audiences everywhere. His breakout single “Until I Found You” went Triple Platinum, vaulted into the Top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100, and generated over 2 billion streams powered by the original, piano version, and duet with Gold-Certified Pop singer and songwriter Em Beihold. He delivered much talked-about performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Meanwhile, he also sold out his first-ever headline tour and earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vogue, Consequence, Grammy.com, and more.
He even duetted “Until I Found You” with Sir Elton John during his last show ever headlining Glastonbury. Last year, he spun a story unlike anything you’ve ever heard on his 2023 full-length debut, Angel Face [Mercury Records/Republic Records]. The record tells the tale of “The Troubadour Sanchez,” a fictional musician who blew up in 1958 with “Until I Found You,” lit up popular culture, and fell in love with Evangeline in 1964. However, his long-lost debut has been unearthed 59 years later in the form of Angel Face. Now, Stephen has released Angel Face’s highly anticipated follow-up, Angel Face (Club Deluxe), out now.
