Broadway musicals—not surprisingly—are the inspiration of an upcoming album by an upcoming singer.

Spencer Day is previewing his upcoming album, “Broadway by Day,” on his current North American tour.

In his current North American tour, Spencer Day is previewing his album, “Broadway by Day,” featuring songs from musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lionel Bart, Jerry Herman and others.

Day’s most recent album, “Angel City,” will also be featured in his upcoming shows.  The video for this album’s first single, “72 and Sunny,” debuted on People.com, which praised “the song’s bright, hopeful lyrics with retro-themed visuals.”  Day recently performed the song live on Fox TV’s “Good Day New York.”

Born in Utah, raised in rural Arizona and currently living in New York, Day has developed an artistic sensibility that borrows from numerous sources:  jazz, musical theater, cabaret, soul, folk, traditional and contemporary pop. He uses intuition and improvisation as his primary tools to craft a sound that is familiar, yet fresh and innovative at the same time.
