Josh Groban to Release Live CD/DVD of Critically Acclaimed "Awake" Tour on May 6th, 2008

BURBANK, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Internationally-renowned vocalist Josh Groban will release a brand-new live
CD/DVD -- titled "Awake Live" -- on Reprise/143 Records on May 6th, 2008.
Directed by Hamish Hamilton, "Awake Live" captures Groban's exhilarating
performance at Salt Lake City's EnergySolutions Arena before a sold-out crowd of
15,000 thrilled fans on August 28th, 2007. In its review of the tour, the
New York Times raved that Groban has "the power to knock the arena senseless."

While the DVD includes favorites from Groban's three best-selling albums,
including "Canto Alla Vita" and "Alla Luce del Sole" from his double-platinum
self-titled 2001 debut, and "You Raise Me Up" and "Remember When It Rained" from
the multi-platinum 2003 album "Closer," the majority of the songs are from
"Awake," including the singles "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)," "February Song,"
and "Lullaby." Released in September 2006, "Awake" debuted at No. 2 on the
Billboard album chart and has sold more than two million copies in the U.S.
The DVD contains the entire 100-minute concert from Salt Lake City, as well as
behind-the-scenes "Making of the Tour" footage. Groban launched the "Awake"
tour in Verona, NY, in February 2007 and performed at sold-out arenas across the
country before concluding the first U.S. leg in April 2007 in Las Vegas. After a
European leg, the tour resumed in the States in July for 27 more North
American dates through early September 2007.

"Awake Live" is Groban's third live DVD, following 2002's "Josh Groban in
Concert" and 2004's "Live at the Greek." The Salt Lake City location was
selected in honor of his first arena concert, which occurred in the same city.
Groban also sang at the closing ceremony for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt
Lake
City, a performance that was seen by more than two billion people.

While touring the world in support of "Awake," the 27-year-old Los Angeles
native
also released a Christmas album, "Noel," which not only spent five consecutive
weeks at No. 1 on the album chart, but was also the top-selling album of
2007. In February, Groban performed at the 2008 Grammy Awards with Andrea
Bocelli in a tribute to the late Luciano Pavarotti.
