Sara Watkins has just announced the release of her forthcoming new album, Young In All The Wrong Ways as well as a tour to support the release.
The new album by one of the founding members of Nickle Creek, Sara Watkins, titled Young In All The Wrong Ways has just been announced for a July 1 release date The forthcoming album will be released on New West Records. For a track list and the album’s cover art see below.
Watkins’ much anticipated album will see the artist take a step back into her roots as frontwoman following her previously collaborative groups Watkins Family Hour and, of course, the platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning Nickel Creek. According to a press release she has gone on to describe her new album as a “breakup album with herself.” Meaning that when she went in to record these 10 intensely soul-baring songs it was a way for her to process what the last couple years has left for her and the transformation that has transcribed. As the press release describes it, “a record about turning the page and taking the reins, in both her career and personal life, these intimate sentiments are paired with audacious musical jumps that push against expectations in unexpected ways.” The album is a very personal piece of work that shows Watkins in a very vulnerable light with powerfully emotional moments that will leave the listener thinking they are part of her life.
“I looked around and realized that in many ways I wasn’t who or where I wanted to be, she describes. “It’s been a process of letting go and leaving behind patterns and relationships and in some cases how I’ve considered myself. What these songs are documenting is the turmoil you feel when you know something has to change and you’re grappling with what that means. It means you’re losing something and moving forward into the unknown.”
The album, which will be available on LP, CD, and digital download, is available for pre-order as of today via Pledge Music.
Watkins will return to the road in support of the new album in June on a series of performances including appearances at major festivals, like Bonnaroo and Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The expansive tour will take her from coast to coast in the fall and will wrap up with a show in Lincoln, NE at the Lied Center on November 30.
