Born in Houston and raised in Blue Springs, Missouri, Cook shot to fame during the seventh season of American Idol. Then just one week after his Idol win, Cook made chart history with a record-breaking 14 debuts on Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs survey and also had 11 songs jump into the Hot 100, the highest number of new entries ever and the second highest number of simultaneous hits since the Beatles in 1964.
For his major label debut, Cook set out to make an eclectic album highlighting a diversity of influences, and collaborated with a number of talented songwriters, including Goo Goo Dolls’ Johnny Rzeznik and Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace. Cook describes the completed album as “an exhausting experience in that you listen to it, have to take a breath to collect yourself, and immediately need to listen to it all over again.” The album deftly showcases Cook’s vocal and songwriting talent and makes his Declaration tour one of the must-see concerts of the year.
The David Cook concert is part of the inaugural Concerts on the Gulf series, a collaborative effort between Moody Gardens and Island Star Performances to bring nationally acclaimed artists and an exciting array of special events to Galveston Island.
