KT Tunstall US Tour

03/05/2008
.
(PR) The wait for American fans of the Scottish-born singer-songwriter KT Tunstall to perform stateside is finally over as the multi-platinum artist launches her first full U.S. tour in support of her latest album Drastic Fantastic this spring. Opening the shows will be singer-songwriter Paddy Casey.

The tour - which begins May 3rd in San Diego, CA, and continues through the end of May - will be a close up personal affair, with Tunstall on acoustic guitar duties while the rest of the band perform various other unplugged acoustic instruments, such as double bass, harmonium, and mandolin. It will well suit the warm, rootsy tone of Tunstall's songs, taken from Drastic Fantastic, her Acoustic Extravaganza record, and her best-selling 2006 debut Eye to the Telescope.

She promises this will still be the same foot-stomping, energy packed evening out as any amped up gig. "The shows will be what we've nicknamed 'the campfire set' after the outdoor recordings we did for the Drastic Fantastic DVD." Tunstall says. "We wanted to try something a little different this time around and I think performing everything on acoustic instruments will afford these gigs a great vibe and give people a chance to see us play in a more intimate setting. We'll have some different arrangements, new versions of older songs, but don't worry, it's still going to rock!"

Tunstall says she is eager to hit the road in the U.S. and bring the songs from Drastic Fantastic to a live audience. Released by Relentless/Virgin Records on September 18th, the album scored a career high for the Grammy-Award nominated artist when it debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard chart.
