Matthew West has released dates for his Spring 2014, "Hello My Name Is...The Acoustic Tour," which begins March 13 through the end of April. The Four-time GRAMMY nominated and American Music Award winning artist will be bringing an evening of acoustic songs and stories for his fans from his acclaimed album Into The Light.

"I started out as just a guy and a guitar in a Barnes & Noble bookstore, playing for free coffee and tips," shares West. "Over the years I have been so blessed to see God continue to expand the platform He has given me. My band and I have traveled the country, playing in churches, theaters, summer festivals, and even in arenas. While I am so thankful to see so many of my dreams come true and the shows getting bigger and bigger, I never want to forget how it all began. This is the heart behind this tour. There's something undeniably special about taking the stage in a more intimate setting. I'm a storyteller at heart, and I can't wait to spend an evening with the audience telling powerful, true stories, and singing the songs that were inspired by them."

Into The Light has produced two radio hit singles - "Forgiveness" and the record-breaking single "Hello My Name Is" that became the first single to chart for 17 weeks straight as No. 1 on the National Christian Audience radio chart. While the aforementioned single continues to chart, West has released a new single from the GRAMMY-nominated album currently at radio and charted the first week out of the gate. "Do Something" is currently charting at No. 23 on the National Christian Audience chart, No. 22 on AC Monitored and No. 18 on AC Indicator charts.

West has songwriting credits that include cuts by Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus, Diamond Rio and more. West's fifth studio album, Into The Light, was released last fall and was nominated for Best Contemporary Christian Album for the 55th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. West was nominated and won his first American Music Award in 2013. West spent much of late 2012 and early 2013 on a pre-headlining stint of the No. 1 Tour in the World (first quarter), the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. He wrapped 2013 with his headlining fall 2013 tour and "The Story Tour" in December. He is currently on the "Hits Deep Tour" with TobyMac through February.
