Chris Brown is celebrating his eleventh album, 11:11, with a tour hitting 26 cities, including Denver on Tuesday, July 23, when he’ll bring his hits to Ball Arena. The hitmaker will be joined by R&B singer-songwriter Muni Long in Denver; Arya Starr will be his opener on other dates.
Brown has been a mainstay in the R&B world since he was sixteen and his self-titled debut dropped in 2005. Since then, he has been nominated for 22 Grammys, taking one home in 2012 for Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E. Most recently, his 11:11 single “Summer Too Hot” was nominated for Best R&B Performance; it hit number one on Billboard‘s R&B chart. – Westword
