The tour announcement coincides with the upcoming release of the group’s fourth studio album, UNDER ONE SKY out on May 4. The Canadian band with multiple #1 Billboard Classical Crossover albums under its belt “have talent to burn” and “killer singing voices” raves The Toronto Star and “pitch perfect harmonies” says Examiner.com. The music of Clifton Murray, Victor Micallef, Remigio Pereira and Fraser Walters is rich and soulful, spanning powerful anthems, classic covers and original songs penned/co-penned by The Tenors themselves.
UNDER ONE SKY is a 13-track album combining a mix of originals alongside new interpretations of familiar favourites.

The foursome dedicates the classic Joe Cocker track “You Are So Beautiful” to their mothers and all mothers around the world, while “My Father’s Son” pays universal homage to dads. A deluxe edition will offer fans three bonus tracks plus a group version of “You Are So Beautiful.”
