Sound Advice: Tate McRae to Perform Sold-Out Show in Cincinnati

Canadian triple threat Tate McRae – singer, songwriter and dancer – will be stopping in Cincinnati on her “Think Later World Tour” on July 24.

Tate McRae started her rise to fame at only 13 years old, becoming the first Canadian finalist on “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2016. The rise of her singer-songwriter career would come later in 2017 with her self-released single, “One Day,” which gained over 40 million views on her YouTube channel as the first song in her video series, “Create With Tate.”  Her growing YouTube channel caught the attention of many record labels, and McRae signed with RCA Records in August 2019. She released her debut EP, “all the things i never said,” in January 2020, followed by her first European and North American concert tour. Years later, she would release her debut studio album, i used to think i could fly , in May 2022.

McRae’s melodic blend of dance-pop and R&B reverberates through her sophomore studio album, THINK LATER , released in December 2023. Following this release, McRae kicked off her world tour in Dublin on April 17.  The tour’s set list features some of the biggest hits of the artist’s career, including “exes” and “greedy,” which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January.

Tate McRae plays Andrew J Brady Music Center at 7 p.m. on July 24. More info: bradymusiccenter.com .
