His self-titled major-label debut album, released in 2008, earned platinum certification and featured the hit singles "Light On" and "Come Back to Me."

Cook has since sold more than 2 million albums and 5 million tracks worldwide, according to his official artist biography.

Wednesday's acoustic performance will offer fans an opportunity to experience Cook's music in a more intimate setting than his full-band concerts.

Online tickets range from $33.50 to $74.95, depending on the ticket option selected. The venue also lists $25 cash tickets available through its box office.

Fans looking for an additional experience can purchase a $65 VIP upgrade, which includes a post-show question-and-answer session with Cook, a signed VIP laminate and early access to merchandise shopping.

VIP participants will also receive a 20% merchandise discount valid during the VIP session only.

The VIP upgrade does not include general admission, meaning fans must purchase a separate concert ticket to attend the performance.

The Coach House also offers dinner reservations with priority seating. Guests interested in dining before the show can contact the box office at 949-496-8930 for availability and reservation requirements.

All ticket sales are final, and show dates are subject to change.
