Tour plans grow for Michael Buble

Canadian crooner Michael Buble will back last year's "Caught in the Act" with a busy tour schedule that kicks off next month and stretches into the spring.

The jazz/pop singer gets the wheels turning with an early February, two-night stand on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, and a mid-February, five-night run in Las Vegas. Things then kick into high gear from March 1 through mid-April, as Buble works the theater and casino circuits.

Dates and cities for the run were announced Friday (1/27), but venues for a number of stops had not been confirmed at press time. Details are shown below.

Before hitting the road in earnest, Buble will turn up on several television programs, including "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (Jan. 31), a live appearance at New York City's Rockefeller Plaza on NBC's "The Today Show" (Feb. 3), and the ABC series "Dancing With The Stars" (Feb. 17).

Released in November, "Caught in the Act" is a CD/DVD collection that features Buble's renditions of classics including "Feeling Good," "Try a Little Tenderness," "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine," "Fever" and "Sway."

The new set follows last year's Grammy-nominated "It's Time," which surfaced in February, and has sold 4 million copies worldwide, according to Reprise Records. The disc was the year's top-selling album in Canada by a Canadian artist, and the third-best-selling album overall in that country.

Buble--whose delivery has drawn comparisons to such legendary vocalists as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett--debuted in 2003 with a self-titled album that has since sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, according to Reprise Records. In 2004, he was crowned Best New Artist award at that year's Juno Awards, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.
