The Flint Journal -
Actress and singer Bethany Joy Lenz is seeing life imitate art.
One of the stars of the WB network's Tuesday night teen soap opera "One Tree Hill," Lenz plays Haley, who left her new husband, Nathan, to join Chris Keller and the Wreckers band on tour.
Now there's a real-life "One Tree Hill" concert tour and the headlining band is ... you guessed it ... the Wreckers, whose members include real music star (and mom-to-be) Michelle Branch and the guy who plays Chris Keller, emerging pop star Tyler Hilton.
The show's show comes to the Royal Oak Music Theatre at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"They gave me a phone call and I thought, 'Wow. This is a really cool opportunity.' I love to sing and write and play, but I never really pursued it. I was when I was living in New York but it just wasn't the right timing," Lenz said.
"I had put together a little band and played at clubs like the Knitting Factory. Things were moving along, but I was also running out of money. So I thought I had to move to L.A. and start acting because I'm not making any money anymore. I had to drop the ball on that and move to L.A. Luckily, it came back around."
The 23-city "One Tree Hill" tour is all about timing. Lenz is juggling the tour dates with the show's filming schedule in Wilmington, N.C. (new episodes return April 12). Although Lenz's character has been absent from recent shows - because of The Wreckers' storyline - she will return to "One Tree Hill" in mid-April.
"We're flying back and forth between all the gigs. It definitely gets exhausting," she said. "I'm trudging on, though, and we're having fun. I really had no expectations for it. It's been a pleasant surprise for sure - the friendships that you build along the way. Everybody that is a part of this tour has really been a dream. They're so nice and friendly and helpful."
Hilton, a musician for seven years, echoes that sentiment. Hilton, who stars as Elvis Presley in the upcoming Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," is pushing his CD, "The Tracks Of," his debut for Maverick Records.
"I think it's kind of neat. It's definitely different. It's new. It's kind of cool to see the idea come about and see the light slowly turn on in all of our heads. It's very cool to be a part of this," he said. "The jury's still out (on) how it's going to go. So far it's been going great. The crowds have been amazing."
Lenz said the tour shows how television and music can market one another.
"It's an opportunity for people to hear stuff that's not on the Top 100, or Top 40, or on the radio," Lenz said. "I think everybody gets sick of those (songs) after awhile. I know I do. I don't listen to the radio much. However, it's a double-edged sword. Every artist hopes to get their song on the radio. At the same time, it's a cool new venue for artists to push their music."

Bethany Joy Galeotti Press: "One Tree Hill Branches Out" March 28, 2005
The Detroit News -
It's not quite reality TV, but TV crosses over into reality when the WB's "One Tree Hill" Tour rolls into the Royal Oak Music Theatre on Tuesday.
Here's how it works: In one of the plotlines on the hit drama, Haley James Scott (Bethany Joy Lenz) is touring the country with Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton), leaving behind her troubled husband, Nathan Scott (James Lafferty). On the 23-city "One Tree Hill" Tour, Lenz and Hilton perform -- as themselves -- and occasionally, audience members heckle them by shouting things like, "Haley, go back to Nathan!"
Confused? So was Lenz, when she was first approached with the idea of hitting the road in real life as an extension of the plotline of her TV show.
"I think Tyler and I both were a little wary about getting caught up in our characters," says Lenz, who also says she was worried the concept would come off as cheesy.
"That was our main concern at the very beginning, just sort of, 'Oh, gosh, I don't know if this is going to be really gimmicky or what.' There were so many opportunities for this to go awry, but we really trusted the people who were in charge of it, so we knew they were going to take care of it."
Tour headliners Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp, whose country-influenced band, the Wreckers, performed on an episode of "One Tree Hill" this season, had similar doubts about the tour.
"We didn't want anyone to think our band was this contrived TV band," says Branch, who describes the Wreckers sound as Dixie Chicks lite.
"Our main concern was people knew this was a real thing."
Thus far, however, the tour has been a successful melding of reality and fiction, and one that reinforces the importance music plays in a show such as "One Tree Hill."
"I have a feeling a lot of shows are going to follow in 'One Tree Hill's' footsteps," says Grammy winner Branch, whose Wreckers album, tentatively titled "Stand Still, Look Pretty," is due in June, around the same time as her first baby. "It's a good way to get people out and let them feel a little more interactive with the show."
Adding to that are the show's stars, who've been popping up at various tour stops to introduce the concert's acts.
Of course, to pull off a successful tour, first you have to have a successful show, and singer/actress Lenz says "One Tree Hill" has built a solid fan base because it's a show teens can identify with.
"It's a normal group of teenagers that kids in the Midwest, kids in cities and kids everywhere can relate to," Lenz says. "It's not about high glam, which is what 'The O.C.' is, which is great, and they're very good at that. We're just a different ZIP Code, and we relate a little bit more to the everyday stuff of what high school drama is like."
