JACK’S MANNEQUIN are pleased to announce their rescheduled US tour in support of their critically-embraced, sophomore Sire/Warner Bros. Records album, THE GLASS PASSENGER.

Alternative Press Magazine, which featured singer-songwriter-pianist Andrew McMahon on its cover, claimed: “One doesn’t have to know McMahon’s back stories or relationship status to relate to his music – and that’s what makes ‘The Glass Passenger’ a fantastic, special album.”

JACK’S MANNEQUIN have just finished a successful tour of Australia as part of the Soundwave Festival and are currently touring Europe. While in Australia, Andrew met several fans and learned quite a bit about those affected by the Victoria bushfires. So moved by the devastation, Andrew has donated a portion of the tour proceeds to Victoria Bushfire Relief Fund.

The American leg of “The Farther From Earth” Tour will begin in San Francisco on April 7, and work its way across the country, ending in Tulsa, OK on May 13. Go to http://jacksmannequinstore.com/fartherfromearthworldtour/ for ticket information.

Shortly thereafter, JACK’S MANNEQUIN will join forces with The Fray for their summer tour which begins June 12 in Atlanta and will again criss-cross the country before touching down in Spokane in early August. All confirmed dates will be listed below:

“The Resolution,” the current single and video from THE GLASS PASSENGER, directed by Stephanie Meyer, the author of “Twilight,” has garnered its share of media attention and pure fan response. The clip has remained a Top 20 video at MTV.Com and MTV2.Com since Sep 2008. USA Today called the single, “One of this year’s most hope-filled pop songs.”

The track and video has resonated so deeply with fans that a new, live performance version of the song, taped live from New York City on the band’s recent intimate club tour, made its debut on MTV Hits and MTV.Com early last month.

The previously mentioned iTunes exclusive Digital EP will go on sale on Mar 10. The EP, “Live From Soho,” will contain five songs recorded live in front of an ecstatic wall-to-wall crowd packed into the Apple Soho Store in New York City on Dec 3 of last year. Track listing and title will become available shortly. Keep an eye on your iTunes store and http://jacksmannequin.com until then.
