Beth Ditto has announced a spring tour from March 7th in Little Rock, Arkansas to March 29th in Seattle, Washington. This follows the artist’s release of Fake Sugar.
Beth Ditto has been known as the “force-of-nature performer best known for fronting the pop-punk group Gossip” by NPR according to the press release. The tour was organized to support the release of Fake Sugar. This album was a debut solo album by Ditto, five years after A Joyful Noise. In a live review, The Guardian has said “Ditto has said this is her southern record, and opener Oh My God kicks in with a funk-rock beat as she channels the mid-80s power vocals of Bonnie Tyler, complete with a front-of-stage electric fan to give her the perfect windswept look. On In and Out and Fake Sugar, she closes her eyes and draws out the tender trill in her voice, giving her the air of a heartbroken Nashville queen. And like Dolly Parton, Ditto alternates between infectiously warm, wisecracking comic and soul-baring torch singer.”
The tour dates will be travelling in the east side of the U.S. during the first half of tour while it shifts to the west side after the tour in Toronto, Ontario. The tour dates are listed below.
