Michael Bublé has announced 2010 Tour dates. Michael Buble’s 2010 Tour dates start in May. For the U.S., the last time Bublé toured here was 2008.

As a kid, Michael was exposed to the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Keely Smith, Sarah Vaughan and Rosemary Clooney, along with Stevie Wonder, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Vaughan Monroe and Ol’ Blue Eyes.

“My grandfather was really my best friend growing up. He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation. Although I like rock & roll and modern music, the first time my granddad played me the Mills Brothers something magical happened. The lyrics were so romantic, so real’the way a song should be for me. It was like seeing my future flash before me. I wanted to be a singer and I knew that this was the music that I wanted to sing.”

“He asked me, as a favor to him, to learn the songs that he loved so much. It was kind of a guilt trip, but he didn’t have to do much convincing. I started practicing and entered a local talent contest. I won the competition, but was later disqualified for being underage. That was when my granddad, who was a skilled plumber, started offering to do free work for musicians in town in exchange for letting me perform a few numbers with them on stage.”

Bublé is now signed to David Foster’s label (previously profiled on LALATE), 143 Records.

Foster says of Bublé : “Michael hasn’t just learned this music. He’s lived it. He brings youthful energy to it, tough and tender at the same time and like nothing else I’ve ever heard. The great thing is, he’s tapped into a repertoire that can last him fifty years. He’s at the beginning of a very long career.”
