'From Another World Tour' hits the West Coast in May!
After seventy shows across almost as many cities, including two trips to Australia, 2-time Grammy winning Americana legend Jim Lauderdale is continuing the US phase of his ‘From Another World’ tour with a string of dates across the West Coast this coming May.
“After the experience of taking this record around the world and back, getting to play with all these different musicians and to such a variety of audiences, I really feel like these shows in May are going to be the ultimate experience I can give my fans. I can’t wait to bring the tour out West” says Lauderdale.
The shows will feature the legendary singer-songwriter backed by a red hot band hand-picked by Lauderdale from across three separate countries, performing a selection of songs form across his formidable catalogue – from the hits artists like George Strait and Patty Loveless ruled the charts with in the 90s through to selections from this year’s acclaimed From Another World.
“One thing I’m looking forward to doing in these shows is paying tribute to my late friend, hero and co-writer Robert Hunter. We’re going to do a mini-set of some of my favorite songs he and I wrote together, our way of bringing his spirit to the stage each night”.
You never know what to expect at a Jim Lauderdale gig, with recent shows featuring surprise duets, impromptu audience requests and guest horn sections briefly turning the show into a soul revue.
Lauderdale’s West Coast roots run deep, back to the 80s when he was a fixture of the Palomino scene in Los Angeles, alongside contemporaries like Lucinda Williams and Dwight Yoakam, raising the roof of the legendary North Hollywood country club night after night, and building the following that launched his career.
“I’ve got so many great memories of LA – it’s always a treat to get back. Playing songs like The King of Broken Hearts only a short drive from where I wrote them, seeing people in the crowds who used to pack out the Palomino decades ago, it makes it extra special.”
Lauderdale will be joined on all dates by special guest Imogen Clark, the acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter known to US audiences from her performances at the Americana Music Festival in Nashville and for her East Coast tour with Clare Bowen earlier this year.
