I remember a recent interview, don't know when, where Haley refers to the Allen Stone performances in response to a question about tour plans.... So in her mind, I think she sees this is sort of a gradual ramping up towards a tour. Didn't they add a date after the initial announcement (might they add more?)
I'm interested what the 'hold up' is, because as 'paced' as the strategy for her entire post Idol career has been, there does not seem to be any 'hurry' to putting it together...
Is it because they feel unready to invest in the tour? Not sure to the size venues they could succeed in/ play to? Finding the right tour mate? Hesitant, because "Free" was underwhelming in sales? Waiting on the decision of a second single to support with the tour? Or simply, they know that her fans have waited this long, they can wait a little longer while Haley tweeks her 'product' (although it seems the enthusiasm has waned significantly, so I'm not sure how much longer they would risk waiting)
Is the spreading of her 'brand' to multiple media opportunities mean that they are banking on a slow building of the brand to industry insiders and the general public, not laying all their eggs in one basket, a new single, the strategy?Preparing the way, so when the tour trigger is pulled, they can maximize the recognition?
BTW welcome to Haleyfans
