3David Cook
Saturday, February 11,
419 Main St, Franklin, TN
The Franklin Theatre
David Cook who launched into stardom following his American Idol Season7 win, 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, certainly knows his way around a good song. His first album, Analog Heart, came out pre-Idol, and his last album, Digital Vein, nicely book-ended that chapter of Cook’s career, a chapter during which he sold more than 2 million albums. David continues to find success, not only for himself, but also as a writer for other artists and touring throughout the world. A fan of both Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails, Cook always admired how they pushed the envelope and brought pop elements into rock music. 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.
