(10/10/01, 10 a.m. ET) -- Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Pete Yorn has landed the opening slot on at least a pair of Sting's arena tour dates in support of his live album, ...All This Time. The Los Angeles-based rocker will serve as the warm-up act at Sting's shows in Colorado Springs, Colorado on December 9 and in Denver on December 10.
It remains unclear if Yorn will participate in more dates on the tour. Calls to Yorn's spokesperson were not returned at press time.
Yorn has been gradually gaining greater attention with his acclaimed Columbia Records debut album, Musicforthemorningafter, featuring the singles "Life On A Chain" and "For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)." His audience also expanded via his recent stint as the opening act on part of the Matchbox Twenty/Train tour.
Yorn and band also have three shows scheduled for this month--October 13 in Atlanta; October 14 in Charleston, South Carolina; and October 20 in Savannah, Georgia.
