Jamie Foxx announces tour with a stop in Jacksonville :
Actor and singer Jamie Foxx has announced a 50-tour starting July 2, with an Aug. 28 stop in Jacksonville. No specific location was given, and SMG, which operates the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts and Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, would not confirm the concert. Foxx sold out the T-U Center's Moran Theatre in his last visit to Jacksonville in 2007, but most of the announced stops on this tour are in arenas and other large venues. The release from Foxx's publicist said that ticket sales for the earlier concerts on the "Intuition" tour began today, but no date was given for Jacksonville sales. Foxx is one of the most successfully versatile performers in show business right now. He won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in 2004's "Ray." He co-stars with Robert Downey Jr. in "The Soloist," which is in theaters now. As a singer, he's been nominated for several Grammys. His "Unpredictable" CD came out in 2005 and went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Last December, he released "Intuition" which went to No. 3. "Blame It," the single from that album, is at the top of the R&B charts and No. 3 among all singles. Foxx is scheduled to host the BET Awards June 28 in Los Angeles, just before launching the tour in that city. ... Source ...
Jamie Foxx tour announces first 'Intuition' dates for summer 2009 : (What about 2010) Widely known for his well-honed acting chops and critically acclaimed turns in films like the Ray Charles biopic "Ray" and musical "Dreamgirls," Jamie Foxx has been highly praised for the musical abilities showcased in both those films. The actor-singer will continue to display his many abilities and material from his latest album on the planned 50-city Intuition Tour of North America.
Only 10 dates of the tour have been confirmed at this point, from a July 2 show at the Grove of Anaheim in Anaheim, CA, through a July 19 concert at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC. More dates will be announced in the coming weeks, and dates are expected to run through October 2009. Though the tour technically begins July 2 according to industry resource Pollstar, Foxx's official Web site marks the tour kick-off as a July 3-4 stand at The Joint in Las Vegas, NV. Other confirmed stops include a July 10 show at Reliant Arena in Houton, TX, and a July 18 performance at Sommet Center in Nashville, TN. Foxx is touring behind his third studio album, "Intuition," which was released in December 2008 and just recently received Platinum certification for sales. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while its most recent single, "Blame It," has placed within the Top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100, Pop 100, Hot Digital and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop song charts. Surprisingly, Foxx made his musical debut 15 years ago with "Peep This" in 1994. Though the album did well in its own right, the effort was largely forgotten by the public until Foxx's musical prowess gained widespread notice in the 2004 film "Ray." The actor followed the film's award-winning success with the chart-topping, double-Platinum release "Unpredictable" late in 2005. Before jumping into his summer 2009 tour itinerary, Foxx will next take the stage on May 19 for a performance at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA. ... Source ...

Music career
Jamie Foxx began piano lessons at age five. In 1994, Jamie Foxx released an album (on the Fox record label) entitled Peep This. In 2001, he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards. His music career went into a higher gear when, in 2004, he was featured on rapper Twista's song, "Slow Jamz", which also featured Kanye West. The song reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, as well as number three on the UK singles chart. Foxx's second collaboration with Kanye West, "Gold Digger", in which he sang the "I Got a Woman" Ray Charles-influenced hook, went straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and remained there for 10 weeks. In 2005, Foxx was featured on the single "Georgia" by Atlanta rappers Ludacris and Field Mob. The song sampled Ray Charles' hit "Georgia on My Mind".
