Chris Rice is preparing for a promotional tour for his new album, Amusing. The tour will take him to a number of states including Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina and Tennessee in the next two weeks.

He also will be touring this fall with Jars of Clay and Sara Groves.

Amusing is Rice's first full-length studio project in two years and his first release on Eb+Flo/INO Records. He also is releasing a live-performance DVD titled Inside Out that will be available Oct. 11.

In addition, Rice is working with DaySpring greeting cards to create a special thank-you card for the families of the 101st Airborne who have relatives overseas. In addition to this personalized greeting card, Rice is sending along a special-edition CD to military families that will include the songs “I See the Moon” and “The Best Song Ever” as a thank you for their service and sacrifice.
