Pretty Ricky Announce Dates For Upcoming U.S. Tour

Florida-based foursome, Pretty Ricky, have announced the details for their upcoming U.S. concert tour, called the Late Night Special Tour, after their no. 1 album, Late Night Special.

The cross-country tour is slated to kick-off on March 21st with a home state show in Clearwater, Florida at Ruth Eckerd Hall, before the group treks across the nation hitting Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Dallas and Los Angeles before wrapping up on May 12th in Houston.

According to their label, Atlantic Records, Pretty Ricky will have a unique twist during their dates. Every concertgoer who brings a Pretty Ricky CD to the show will have the opportunity to have it autographed after the show, when the group will stay until each and every CD has been signed.

Several dates of the tour's dates were selected with the help of the latest live performance phenomenon, Eventful Demand, an online service which allows fans to determine a tour's stops by creating grass-roots campaigns to "Demand" that their favorite performers come to their town.

Fans were able to demand Pretty Ricky by visiting the group's MySpace page (Myspace.com/PrettyRicky). The top-demanded cities so far have been Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, and Chicago.

Additionally, the group has launched a "Push It For Pretty Ricky" contest through YouTube (YouTube.com/group/prettyrickycontest) where fans are invited to create their own dance moves to Pretty Ricky's new single, "Push It Baby," with winners receiving a personal phone call from Pretty Ricky, a Sony MiniDV Camcorder, and a prop from the recent "Push It Baby" video shoot.
