(press release) Liz Phair will launch her new album, Somebody's Miracle, with a headlining tour of North America that kicks off in Ft. Lauderdale on October 6th. Highlights include shows at New York's Irving Plaza (10/17,18), Chicago's Vic Theater (10/25) and at the House of Blues in Los Angeles (11/7). Her stripped-down, sold-out summer club tour, which was limited to eight cities, put her songwriting front and center. Said the New York Post of a recent show: "What's incredible about Phair, who just finished an intimate, two-show engagement at Joe's Pub, is how she musters the courage to sing about her deepest sexual desires. No other artist, male or female, comes close to understanding lust like Liz....As hot as her lyrics are, she's much more than a pretty blond waif who likes to talk dirty. Her songwriting and unconventional guitar playing shine through the steam."
Later this month, Phil Harder will direct the video for "Everything To Me," the album's first single. Somebody's Miracle is the follow-up to Phair's 2003 self-titled album, which included the Gold single "Why Can't I."
