Grammy-winning legend Peabo Bryson is celebrating five decades of timeless music with The Golden Touch Tour, running through 2026. Known as the “King of the Balladeers,” Bryson has given the world unforgettable hits, including “Beauty and the Beast” with Céline Dion and “A Whole New World” with Regina Belle—both Grammy and Oscar winners.
The tour marks a milestone not only in his career but in his life. After surviving a massive heart attack in 2018, thanks to the quick actions of his wife, Bryson says every performance now carries a deeper meaning:
“The Golden Touch Tour is a celebration—of survival, of 50 years of music, and of the incredible fans who have supported me through it all.”
Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist, plus a glimpse at what’s ahead. Bryson is set to release his new album, Grace, produced by the legendary Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, in 2026. A companion book filled with stories from his remarkable journey will follow.
Upcoming tour stops include Chicago, Dallas, Memphis, Philadelphia, and additional cities, as well as special cruise performances.
