New York, New York June 19, 2017. Over the past few months Tarrus Riley have been busy making his rounds on his North American tour.

During his performance it was evident that Tarrus Riley newly released single Just the Way You Are was an infectious and powerful song. ‘Just the Way You Are’ seems to have started a movement, which have persons making the extra effort to acknowledge their beauty just the way they are. “With social media I tend to feel the urge to do surgery to fix my nose and enhance my butt, but the only reason is because of what I continuously see being promoted and liked on the gram. I must say hearing the single by Tarrus Riley, ‘Just the Way You Are’ made me feel as if I’m okay just as I am. What changed my view of myself is seeing all the short posts on IG of persons singing ‘I Love You Just the Way You Are’ sparking something within myself that nothing is wrong with me, why am I trying to be someone else” says Marsha Wyatt of Newark, New Jersey.
Immediately after his performance in Seattle, Tarrus was off to Vancouver, British Columbia where he delivered a solid set and had the fans in a frenzy as he performed numerous hits. The next day he was off to Victoria, British Columbia and then immediately after that he was headlining the Sierra Nevada Music Festival.
