Multi-platinum-selling neo-soul crooner John Legend is hitting the road this spring -- and he's taking acclaimed newcomer Corrine Bailey Rae along for the ride.

The multi-platinum Grammy-winning recording artist (who scored two trophies at last night's ceremony) will kick off his new North American tour on April 3 in Irvine California, according to his publicist Yvette Noel-Schure. The month-long trek will wrap up in Crescent City on May 5, with a solo show as part of New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. (Full itinerary listed below)

Not even considering the notion of a sophomore slump, Legend's second major label release 'Once Again,' peaked at #1 on the R&B charts upon release last October, and quickly achieved RIAA platinum certification. The set spurred two Grammy nominations: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (for "Save Room") and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance (for "Heaven").

Legend (legally known as John Stephens) also picked up a third Grammy nomination in the Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals category (for 'Family Affair,' with British soul singer Joss Stone -- a track from 'Different Strokes by Different Folks,' a Sly & the Family Stone tribute album). The two latter tracks won Grammys last night.
