Karise plans first city performances

Karise Eden, the 19-year-old winner of The Voice 2012 from Woy Woy, will perform her first capital city live performances under the banner of the Heavenly Sounds tour in October.

The tour will begin in Sydney on Monday, October 1, and will then continue to Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

"I was made aware of the Heavenly Sounds concept just after the show finished," said Ms Eden.

"The idea of singing soul and blues in beautiful churches is so exciting.

"When we were planning the first tour, I really wanted to try and make these shows as unique as possible and keep them feeling intimate.

"Heavenly Sounds is the perfect way to do it.

"I'll be playing songs from the current album as well as new material I have been working on," she said.

After taking out the crown of the Voice 2012 in June, Ms Eden scored six out of the top 10 singles on the ARIA Charts, a feat not achieved since the Beatles in 1964.

Her album of songs performed on the Voice has already been accredited double platinum and is the fastest selling non-Christmas album since Pink in 2008.

She has gone on to perform at the State Of Origin Final, the highest rating TV show this year.

Ms Eden will head off to the UK and Europe in August to start work on her debut release of all new material before heading back to Australia to kick off the tour.

Ms Eden will be supported at all shows by Lakyn, who scored a gold single on The Voice with his cover of Big Jet Plane.
