Hot on the heels of the release of her critically acclaimed debut album 'Catching A Tiger', Lissie has announced details of her first full headline tour this autumn.
It has already been a whirlwind few months for this mesmerizing new artist from Rock Island, Illinois with a list of highlights as long as her arm including; her performing on Later with Jools Holland & GMTV, dueting onstage with Ellie Goulding, triumphantly winning over the SXSW festival with an unfathomable 10 shows in 4 days, championed by as broad a media spectrum as you could possibly imagine - from single of the week in The Sun, raved about by US gossip mogul Perez Hilton (who witnessed one of her Austin SXSW performances and has swooned over her voice ever since), and praised by the likes of Q, Clash, Uncut, The Sun, Sunday Times, Big Issue, Daily Mirror and playlisted across UK radio to name but a few places.
Having now decamped to the UK from her home base in Ojai, California for the foreseeable future, Lissie continues to tread the boards across the nation's live venues. Having recently completed a series of dates as special guest to Joshua Radin, City & Colour and Local Natives and a headline tour of the UK with Alan Pownall, Lissie now has a full program of touring continuing throughout the summer, which also includes a sold out show at London's ICA on July 28th. Lissie won the hearts of many with her four triumphant Glastonbury appearances and her recent slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park and has further confirmed festival appearances at Bestival, Latitude, Camp Bestival, Summer Sundae, Secret Garden Party, T in The Park, Oxegen, Cambridge Folk Festival & V festival still to come, alongside dates in the US as part of the influential Lilith Fair Tour and at Austin City Limits festival.
Online she has picked up well over a million plays on YouTube as fans have discovered her charms, alongside some spectacular cover versions, that began with her take on Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' for the Dermot session and has since taken in Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' & Kid Cudi's 'Pursuit Of Happiness' along the way to rave response, showing the versatility and depth of that voice that has also seen her pick up praise and support from a broad range of artists, from Courtney Love, Katy Perry, Mumford & Sons to Ellie Goulding.
'Catching A Tiger' is out now. Her next single 'Cuckoo' is released on August 30th on Columbia Records.
