WILKES-BARRE — It was announced today that nine-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, Norah Jones, will kick off her new tour at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Oct. 20.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at the Kirby Center Box Office, by phone at (570) 826-1100 and online at www.kirbycenter.org. Ticket prices are $38, $58, and $68, plus fees.

A special Kirby members pre-sale will begin Friday at 10 a.m. Kirby members always buy first, so join today at (570) 823-4599, ext. 225.

Jones first emerged on the world stage with the February, 2002, release of “Come Away With Me,” her self-described “moody little record” that introduced a singular new voice and grew into a global phenomenon, sweeping the 2003 Grammy Awards and signaling a paradigm shift away from the prevailing synthetic pop music of the time.

Since then, Jones has sold more than 40 million albums, worldwide, and has become a nine-time Grammy Award winner. She has released a series of critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo albums – Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), The Fall (2009), and Little Broken Hearts (2012) – as well as two albums with her country collective, “The Little Willies,” and one with the Brooklyn-based “Puss N Boots.”

The 2010 compilation “Featuring Norah Jones” showcased the songstress’ incredible versatility by collecting her collaborations with artists as diverse as Willie Nelson, Outkast, Herbie Hancock and Foo Fighters.

Little Broken Hearts, which was produced by Danger Mouse, presented the fascinating next step in the artistic evolution of one of the music world’s most consistently intriguing singer-songwriters.

Fans can expect to hear songs from across Norah’s entire catalog on the fall U.S. tour dates.
