Owl City comes to China for new gig

Adam Young, better known by his stage name, Owl City, has swept the world with his electronic and melodic tunes ever since he emerged as a one-man band from the basement of his parents' house in a small town in Minnesota, the United States in 2007.

After two successful tours in China in 2009 and 2013, the singer-songwriter will return in May with performances in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

"Chinese fans were so rapt in the performance, I almost felt like they were able to take in more of the subtleties of the concert than other audiences I'd played for," says Young, recalling his shows in China in 2009.
