Debbie Gibson- Acoustic Youth: Songs and Stories from the Electric Youth Era

Debbie Gibson, a true pop phenomenon, burst onto the scene at just 16, etching her name in history with the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Foolish Beat.” She became the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a number-one hit—she is STILL the youngest female, a record that has remained unbroken for over 30 years. Her unparalleled talent has translated into over 16 million album sales and a prolific theatrical career spanning 17 musicals, from Broadway’s Les Misérables to the West End’s Grease. In 2019, Gibson graced the stage alongside New Kids on The Block on The Mixtape Arena Tour. The following year, her single “Girls Night Out” soared to number four on the U.S. Billboard and U.K. MusicWeek charts. And 2021 marked the release of her first pop album in two decades, “The Body Remembers,” climbing to an impressive number two on the Apple Pop Sales Chart. Her music video for "Love Don't Care" has over a million views on YouTube. In 2022, Gibson embarked on a solo U.S. tour for “The Body Remembers” and commemorated the 35th anniversary of her debut album “Out of the Blue” with sold-out shows in NYC. She also delighted fans with her first full-length holiday album, “Winterlicious.”
Keeping the excitement alive, she recently revealed a book deal with Gallery for her forthcoming motivational memoir. No stranger to starring in television movies for Hallmark, Gibson can proudly add executive producer to one of the first LGBTQ+ inclusive movies on the network entitled "Notes of Autumn.'' This year, she is celebrating the 35th Anniversary of her No. 1 hit “Lost In Your Eyes” and No. 1 album “Electric Youth” with a brand new “Electric Youth” Newstalgia Remix by Tracy Young and special anniversary concerts around the country including NYC's The Town Hall. The celebration continues this fall in 15 markets across the country with "Acoustic Youth: Songs and Stories from the Electric Youth Era." Gibson says “I have always loved breaking songs down to their purest form and Acoustic Youth will find me at the keys, super intimate, telling stories and playing the songs the way I first wrote them on the piano. My audience and I share a connection that allows for me to be super in the moment and this show will find me truly taking in every moment and free flowing so that no two shows are alike! There may be some unexpected surprises on my set list and I can’t wait to experience this unique moment that marries the then and the now and with my community who has been with me on this journey for over 3 and a half decades.” For more information on tour dates visit www.DebbieGibsonOfficial.com/tour
