Billy Bragg To Cap World Tour With London Hammersmith Apollo Show
Tuesday, 03 September 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
Musician and political activist Billy Bragg is to close his 18-month world tour with a show at London's Hammersmith Apollo on May 1 2014.
Touring in support of latest album 'Tooth & Nail', recorded over a whirlwind five-day session with Grammy Award winning producer Joe Henry (whose production credits include Solomon Burke, Aimee Mann, Elvis Costello and Hugh Laurie), the album has seen Billy return to the rootsy sound of 1998’s 'Mermaid Avenue' sessions he recorded with Wilco - drawing on soul, country and folk music influences. In his own words: “In 2011, I took a long, hard look at who I am and what I do. This album is the result.”
Following a short run of dates in June, as well as various UK festival appearances, Billy Bragg and his band will tour the UK in November and December, including a show at London's Royal Festival Hall. He will return to London for a homecoming show at the Hammersmith Apollo on Thursday May 1 2014.
Bill Bragg released 'Tooth & Nail', his first studio album for five years, back in March.
