Toronto, Canada - Cherine is spreading her wings and winning over new fans one show at time. Cherine, who was recently honored with the "Vocalist of the Year 2009" award at the 6th Annual EME Awards, is currently on a 47 date North American arena tour, joining Michael Franti and Spearhead to open for multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter John Mayer.  Recently, the tour hit Canada with an energetic, sold out show at Toronto's Air Canada Center.  Cherine, performing with Franti and Spearhead, are set to play to similar audiences in Ottawa and Montreal before heading back stateside. Mayer's "Battle Studies" tour started a little over a week ago in South Florida and will wrap up in Chicago in April.
Franti's Impact:
Cherine, who is a big fan of Mayer's music, says, "The first show of the tour I was like a kid in a candy store.  I got to watch his show from the sound box (in the middle of the arena).  Just being in the midst of the crowd and feeling the energy of the thousands of fans and singing along to all the songs was an incredible feeling. I am learning so much on this tour, and I'll take a lot of positive experiences forward with me. I enjoy meeting the many music fans throughout the tour and thank them for their support." 
"Cherine to Di World!"
