William Joseph Joins Holiday Tour With Clay Aiken

Piano virtuoso William Joseph will open for Clay Aiken on a holiday tour scheduled to cross the country in November and December spreading cheer to thirty-five cities, including a three-night run at New York City's Beacon Theater and two nights at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

In addition to performing holiday classics such as "Carol of the Bells" and others, Joseph will also perform tracks from his debut album, "Within." Discovered by legendary Grammy® Award-winning producer David Foster, William Joseph released his solo album "Within" on 143/Reprise Records. "Within" features a mix of original compositions, reworked rock classics, as well as classical pieces from his days as a child prodigy.

With early influences ranging from Elton John to Metallica to Rachmaninoff, Joseph is a true crossover artist appealing to pop music fans and classical aficionados alike. Amazon.com raves "Joseph is blessed with a forceful technique and an ear for drama that recalls [Roger] Williams in his prime, and approaches his material with a kitsch-be-damned, crowd-pleasing verve that occasionally invokes 1970s prog-rock excesses without apology."
