From April 29th through May 12th,
Morton will perform ten acoustic sets in the smallest rooms he's played in years, including stops in New York City, DC, Chicago, Boston, and Nashville. The string of shows follows his April 26th homecoming at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as well as his already sold-out April 5th appearance launching both Steve McQueen's

Accompanying him each night are sister duo The Amours, whose gliding blood harmonies and seductive stage presence have complemented
Morton on the thrice Grammy-nominated album Gumbo Unplugged, his 15-piece Tiny Desk Concert, jam sessions withThe Roots, and nearly 60 tour dates across the world. The Amours are preparing to release their first solo music on
Morton Records - stay tuned for more news this week.
