via Elliott Yamin will head out on his second USO tour later this month:
Season 5 finalist and R&B sensation Elliott Yamin will venture to Guam and Japan on his second USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour, October 8 -18. The soulful vocalist will visit military bases, perform four free concerts for troops and their families, as well as sign autographs.
Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Elliott traveled to Germany, Belgium, and the UK on his first USO tour in February 2008, visiting and entertaining more than 2, 000 troops serving in the region. He is a huge supporter of the U.S. military. ‘I write a lot of the songs I perform, but finding the words to describe my gratitude to our men and women in uniform seems impossible, ‘ said Elliott. ‘Working with the USO is the best way for me to let troops know how much I appreciate their service.’
Elliott Yamin has a ready-made fanbase in Japan–he’s toured there in support of both his album releases and has charted on Japan’s Top 100.
