New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rising singer/songwriter Evan Bartels will embark on his bicontinental spring/summer touring schedule, kicking off with a sold-out show at Nashville's famed The Bluebird Cafe with Sam Williams and Holly Williams. Bartels then makes stops in Charleston, S.C. with
Joe Nichols and
Hank Williams Jr. before heading overseas to support Charles
Wesley Godwin in Glasgow, Manchester, and Dublin. Bartels returns to the U.S. with cross country headlining dates including Hollywood, Calif.; Charlotte, N.C.; Decatur, Ga; plus a homestate stop in Venice, Neb. and more.
With his debut project To Make You Cry releasing May 23, Bartels showcases his profound storytelling, creating an epic, cinematic landscape with little more than an acoustic guitar and vocals. Recorded in his handmade cabin outside of Nashville, the stunning six-song set not only takes notice of those people who are often unseen but also explores the sacrifices and spirituality of a working musician. The EP's haunting title track "To Make You Cry" is out now along with the unfiltered, distinctly human story of "Lula." Pre-Save Evan Bartels' To Make You Cry HERE.
Bartels also recently wrapped an impressive run at C2C (Country 2 Country) international music festival and will be adding more dates and markets to his To Make You Cry Tour before heading back to the U.K. for The Long Road Festival.
