Omar Apollo Announces Fall 2022 North American ‘Prototype’ Tour Dates
With the highly anticipated Ivory album release, the beloved Omar Apollo has blessed us with his Fall 2022 ‘Prototype’ tour dates. With his first official album, Apollo scrapped an earlier version of Ivory that he felt didn’t do his vision justice, replacing it with the nine-song Apolonio. Then a year later, revisit the project with a new perspective gifting us Ivory.
From R&B to Ivory
This album is rockier than his last. The teenager from Indiana garnered buzz with languid, homemade R&B songs uploaded to streaming platforms from his bedroom. He followed up with a series of singles and EPs, including 2018’s brief but impactful Stereo, whose gently plucked electric guitar solos, expert falsetto, and lyrics about love and longing made him a poster child for lo-fi R&B. The path ahead seemed clear.
‘Prototype’ Tour
Kicking off in October, the 22-date tour will see stops at the illustrious Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre, and the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, among others. Omar has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket goes to support the Grammy’s organization, MusiCares’ work to provide a safety net of critical health and welfare services to the music community.
