Chicago, Ill.— After
two successful CD releases and sold-out U.S. debut shows, internationally

acclaimed pop rock band PAINTED ON WATER will kick off their 2014 North

American Tour at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music, 4544 N Lincoln Avenue

on Saturday, March 15. After quickly selling out the 7 p.m. performance,

PAINTED ON WATER is announcing today that a 10 p.m. performance has been added

that evening. The Chicago engagement will be followed by performances

at Toronto’s Mod Club Theater at 722 College St. on Sunday, March 16 at 8

spring.

The

Chicago-based band is comprised of songwriter, vocalist and instrumentalist

Demir Demirkan and songwriter and vocalist Sertab Erener, as well as guest

artists who will perform with the group on tour. Turkey’s first and only

winners of the Eurovision Song Contest, Demirkan and Erener’s unique style

combines lyrics inspired by Shakespeare with the melodies of pop, rock,

electronica and Turkish folk music to create a unique musical experience. The

New York Daily News raves that the

band infuses “…traditional tunes from their birth country, but kick them up

with rock guitars, jazz inflections, and a bit of pop polish!” and Cape

Cod Online calls PAINTED ON WATER’S sound a “…beautiful, incredibly sensuous mix of pop and

jazz with world music undertones that proves to be wonderfully

intoxicating.”

To

engage the senses of their audience, visuals of an Ebru artist performing the

intricate Turkish art of paper marbling appears while the band’s music plays.

The incorporation of this beautiful art form is an essential element to every PAINTED

ON WATER concert.
