On the heels of releasing his much-lauded sophomore release I See Things Upside Down, INO Records' singer/songwriter Derek Webb has announced his headlining tour this spring. The tour will begin March 31st in Webb's home state of Texas, kicking off at Baylor University in Waco and end April 17th in Charlotte, NC.

Webb's wife, singer/songwriter Sandra McCracken, and Steven Delopoulos (Burlap to Cashmere) are joining Webb on the month long nationwide tour.

This tour is certain to be one you don't want to miss. Unlike his recent concert dates, Webb will be appearing with his full band and McCracken singing background vocals of songs from his debut release, She Must And Shall Go Free as well as from I See Things Upside Down. Opening each evening, McCracken and Delopoulos will perform songs from their own solo projects.

In addition, fans will be able to take home the "live" experience with the release of Webb's first-ever live DVD, "How To Kill And Be Killed," releasing October 11th, 2005. The DVD will feature live concert footage as well as a unique and extensive behind-the-scenes interview with Webb. Well-known song favorites such as "Wedding Dress" and "I Repent" will be featured.

Thanks to his recent partnership with Apple©, fans can now download exclusive Derek Webb songs on Apple© iTunes. The "iTunes Unplugged EP-Special Edition" includes acoustic versions of new songs and unreleased tracks from his live CD The House Show. Tunes from I See Things Upside Down, such as "I Want A Broken Heart" and "Medication" are included as well as the rare and previously unreleased version of ?gNothing Is Ever Enough," which was originally recorded as part of The House Show. Downloading is available for both Mac and PC by visiting Apple.com.
