Joanna Newsom has announced a new tour for the summer. The Strings/Keys Incident tour is set to kick off September 7 in Philadelphia. It will then go on to three back-to-back shows in New York and three back-to-back shows in Chicago, IL. The mini-tour will then conclude October 13 in Milwaukee. It will be some of the rarest and intimate performances Newsom will do, solely including her beautiful voice, a harp, and piano. Tickets for the tour will go on sale Friday, April 5 at 10 am local time and can be purchased here. Check out the list of tour dates below.
No word yet if new music or a new album is on the way. Her last effort was her album Divers, released four years ago. The album became her best selling album and charting at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Album’s Chart. That same year, she also got to perform her song “Leaving the City” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Divers follow her album Have One on Me, released in 2010. The album was praised by critics, with Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times stating “Newsom uses the songwriter’s default mode to explore how traditional love, for women, can be both the beginning and the end of possibility: a way to escape home and be exiled from it; to welcome children or be burdened by fertility; to be entrusted with secrets, or betrayed.”
