– breaking several Billboard chart records when 14 of his songs debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart and 11 of his songs debuted on the Hot 100. Cook has since gone on to sell more than 2 million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album) and, collectively, more than 5 million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide. After a move to Nashville, TN, David continued to find success, not only for himself (his 2015 studio album, DIGITAL VEIN, debuted in the top 5 on the Billboard Pop Chart) but also as a writer for other artists. Cook continues to tour throughout the world in support of his multiple hits.
2018 brought an exciting new EP from Cook – CHROMANCE and, if putting out his 2018 EP wasn’t enough to keep Cook busy, that same year he headed to the Great White Way for his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in KINKY BOOTS. And he has no plans to slow it down. “I love creative endeavors. I like starting with nothing and then finishing with something that didn’t exist before. That’s my favorite thing about creating new music. I love being able to put something artistic out in the world for people to enjoy.”
And that’s what he is doing. In 2020, David released two new singles. The first, REDS TURN BLUE, is a nod to the manic highs (reds) and lows (blues) of anxiety, something David has struggled to overcome since his season seven win on American Idol. And the second, STRANGE WORLD, is "my homage to this year," said David. "Staring out of windows at the world outside, feeling disconnected from it, and trying to find those moments that would normally exist outside, inside." Both singles, along with the driving FIRE are from his EP, THE LOOKING GLASS, released in April 2021.
In April 2022, David released his latest single, TABOS (This'll All Be Over Soon). The single's release coincided with his return to the American Idol stage to perform for their special 20th-anniversary reunion show.
David Cook won a little show called American Idol back in 2008, so based on that alone, you know you can anticipate an phenomenal show from a genuinely great live musician. During his sets, you can expect to find Cook and his badass bandmates performing an array of tracks from his two studio albums, "David Cook" and "This Loud Morning", his independently released songs, and a dash of totally ace 80s jams (a decade which just happens to be his covers specialty).
His music encompasses a wide range of influences from 90s grunge-alternative to modern day rock-pop, covers themes of love, loss, and life, and are instrumentally-driven by guitar and piano. Suffice to say, Cook makes sure to offer something for everyone.
From 2008-2011, I've seen Cook perform in gigantic arenas and intimate theatres/clubs, and no matter where the stage is, he is always on and ready to deliver a rockin' show. Not only is Cook a talented singer/songwriter, he is also witty, gracious, and kind-hearted.
Every year, Cook participates in the Race for Hope marathon in Washington, DC in honour of his late brother, who lost his fight against brain cancer in 2009. He is a steadfast supporter for charity initiatives related to brain cancer research.
For all of those reasons and more, David Cook is one artist you must not miss out on whenever he's in town!
