The critically-acclaimed singer- songwriter-performer Anna Nalick will hit the road for a series of concert dates to include select gigs with The Wallflowers and Howie Day (see full itinerary following).

Currently enjoying the burgeoning success of her debut album, "Wreck of the Day," and its break-out single, "Breathe (2AM)," Nalick was picked for Rolling Stone's "The Next List" of people to watch in 2005, is a VH1 "You Oughta Know" artist, and was recently singled out as a "Breakout Music Star" by US Weekly as in its "Breakout Stars! Who Will Be Hot In 2006?" feature.

Shortly after "Breathe (2AM)" was featured prominently on the hit television series, "Joan of Arcadia," the track moved an impressive 125,000 downloads on iTunes. "It's a real hot song. This feels great," raved the urban artist Fat Joe, as he reviewed tracks for Entertainment Weekly's "Summer Music Preview." Turning the "volume way up for several minutes," the rapper continued his praise of the song, "This takes you to a different place, man. The best one [we heard today]."

"Wreck of the Day," the title track from Anna's debut album, has been licensed by the hit television programs "Joan of Arcadia" and "One Tree Hill."

Anna's been gathering solid press kudos from the underground to the mainstream. People magazine gave her album a three-star review, calling her " ... a breath of fresh air ... " while praising "her smart lyrics, engaging melodies and resonant voice."

The Associated Press heralded her "refreshing and likable voice" while observing that "her melodies and lyrics give evidence of maturity and sophistication beyond her tender age."

In the songs of Anna Nalick, USA Today found " ... a sense of grace and composure rare among today's tortured young troubadours."
