Fans Welcome Full Schedule
Timeless Tour Clock Ticks Down
Clay Aiken fans are collectively setting video recorders, finalizing travel plans, and stretching plastic for last-minute purchases as the Timeless Tour, release of the singer's new Tried & True ~ LIVE! DVD, and a host of television appearances infuse overflowing summer calendars.
Below is a visual tour highlighting the next month beginning with the Cat Greenleaf interview on "Talk Stoop." If you count fall air dates for the Tried & True: LIVE special on PBS, the scope of this simple report stretches even farther.
July 22: Clay Aiken's interview with Cat Greenleaf will air on "Talk Stoop" at 6:15 a.m. Promos of the show feature the singer's acapalla rendition of "Moon River."
An online version of "The Stoop" will be posted after the telecast. You can download "Moon River" with these Sendspace files: mp3 and video. The clickable graphics by Fountaindawg include caps as well as photos taken by Diana Levine at the taping.
From dawn to dusk on June 2, a PopEater crew followed Clay around New York City as he promoted the new Tried & True CD on TV and radio. The entire day was replayed in Ashley Iasimone's Clay Aiken -A Day in the Life blog and includes a handsome array of photographs by Levine.
When we arrive at the Cobble Hill brownstone where Aiken will be interviewed for 'Talk Stoop' with Cat Greenleaf, he changes into a plaid shirt, accessorized with suspenders -- "I'm sitting on the stoop, why not?" he rationalizes -- and puts on a smile for Greenleaf's crew and family.
His final press appearance of the day is relaxed, the sun is shining and Aiken treats Greenleaf to a brief a cappella performance.

Below are regular and widescreen clickables of Fountaindawg's opening tour clock graphic:With 100 episodes and counting, the Emmy Award-winning series "Phineas and Ferb" continues to roll out with new and thoroughly amusing stories for kids, tweens and families.
In August, the hit animated comedy, increasingly renowned for its smart humor and noteworthy guest stars, will present two new episodes featuring the legendary recording artist Chaka Khan, multi-platinum selling singer Clay Aiken ("American Idol"), Emmy-winning animator/writer Seth MacFarlane ("Family Guy") and filmmaker Kevin Smith ("Clerks").
A one-hour episode entitled "Summer Belongs to You" premieres Monday, Aug. 2 (8 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD and Friday, Aug. 6 on the Disney Channel. As the story goes, it’s the summer solstice and, because it’s the longest day of the year, stepbrothers Phineas and Ferb decide to travel around the world in one day.But not everyone believes they can actually achieve what they’ve set out to do, leading them to get some encouraging words, in the form of a duet, "I Believe We Can," performed by Clay Aiken and Chaka Khan.
Music from the episode will Planet Premiere on Radio Disney Monday, July through Monday, Aug. 2, and will be released by Walt Disney Records on Tuesday, Aug. 3 at online retailers.
Have a wonderful next few weeks, Clay Nation!
