I’m so lucky! It has been WAY too long since I’ve seen my midwest friends. The last time we saw each other was Winter 2008, and you were pulling my rock minivan out of a snowy ditch. Obviously I owe you a cup of coffee at LEAST. So check out the Tour page and come collect!
BRANDI SHEARER ON TOUR WITH CRACKER
On the heels of the first ever instore tour (The Shore to Shore Record Store Tour presented by Record Store Day), Brandi Shearer joins forces with indie rockers Cracker for a string of dates in the midwest. Both acts will be performing intimate acoustic sets, and Shearer looks forward to revisiting some favorite venues:
“I love playing and I love the midwest,” she says, “and I’m taking the midwestern winter as a personal challenge. Last year I tried to make it the 20 feet to the rock-van from my hotel room without a coat and basically had to be resuscitated. I’m gonna live in my parka this time around.”
The tour will begin February 16th in Evanston, Illinois, and conclude at Denver’s Swallow Hill on the 28th of February.
Shearer’s recent release, Love Don’t Make You Juliet, has won widespread critical praise and appeared in many year end lists, including Paste’s Best of 2009. Her music has been lauded by Entertainment Weekly, People Magazine, Blurt, and a host of others. The on stage performance continues to impress, too.
“Shearer has a heaven-sent,heartshuddering vocal style,” describes L.A. Weekly of her live shows.
