OMAHA, NEBRASKA - Samson Music recording artist Douglas September will embark on a tour of U.S. cities to support his Samson Music debut, "TEN BULLS." The new recording featuring September's diverse repertoire of original material was produced by Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame drummer Michael Shrieve (Santana) and features brilliant guitar work by the legendary Bill Frisell. A new name to music fans in the U.S., September has quickly been gaining new listeners as his CD "TEN BULLS" has been embraced by radio throughout the country.

Only two weeks since his release, this Canadian-born singer/songwriter is moving toward establishing himself as a powerful new voice in contemporary music. His compositions are remarkable, for their musicianship, their vivid, poetic lyrics (which address life's larger themes such as the wanting of a soul, the deep ache of romantic recollection and the noble quest for humanity) and their current-yet-classic sound. The dates and locations for Douglas September's performances include:

May 6 Flint, MI Borders (7 p.m.)
