(PR) One of the great developing artist stories of late 2008 continues to build as Wind-up recording artist Thriving Ivory kicks off their headlining tour on January 23rd in Bakersfield, CA before traveling to LA to headline the legendary Troubadour and beyond. The San Francisco quintet has been very busy over the last year promoting their self-titled debut album and single "Angels on the Moon" and, next week, they will hold the #1 spot on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart
Singer Clayton Stroope noted, "It's exciting to return to cities that we've previously been to and experience this groundswell that has been building over the past year. There is nothing like the feeling of standing on stage as a packed room sings along with you. As a band, we are in the midst of the connection that every artist hopes for. This has been so special, and we can't wait to get back out there and experience this feeling nightly. To all those folks who have bought our disc, thank you. If you tell your friends, I can finally upgrade the tires on my '84 Taurus, and instead of being number one Heatseekers, we can simply be number one overall."
