Shelby Lynne announces solo gigs
Lynne starts her tour at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, Cal. on April 22nd. U.K. artist Findlay Brown will open on all dates. Tickets for the U.S. tour will go on sale this weekend.
"Tears, Lies, And Alibis," due out April 20th, marks the first release on Lynne's own newly founded label, Everso, which will be distributed through Fontana. She'll be performing at the Fontana party at SXSW on March 18th. Coming on the heels of "Just a Little Lovin'," Lynne's 2008 tribute to Dusty Springfield, the new CD weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences into the mix. Like "Identity Crisis" (2003) and "Suit Yourself" (2005), this sparse sounding CD was produced by Lynne.
