Watkins plans first full tour
This will be the first time Watkins has promoted one of his solo albums with a full tour. "It's a culmination of the past 10 years," he said of the record. "It was borne out of a drive to step out of supportive roles in bands. I do like backing up other musicians, but in the last couple of years, I've started owning my own personality as a musician. I've had the urge to put my name on something and step out of the supporting role."
Watkins began recording "All I Do Is Lie" in the summer of 2012. Released in 2014 by Roaring Girl Records, it's a roots album that straddles the line between multiple genres.
