NEW YORK, NY. (Epic Records) - Hot on the heels of her packed-house arena run with Coldplay, Epic recording artist FIONA APPLE is returning to the road for a highly anticipated headlining tour that begins June 20th at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, AZ and culminates on August 10th at the Plain Dealer Amphitheatre in Cleveland, OH. Many of the dates will feature acclaimed singer/songwriter
Damien Rice.
David Garza will support throughout the tour. A complete list of dates is below.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter will be summering across the country in support of her remarkable new album, EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE. The record, Apple's first in six years, entered Billboard's Top 200 No 7 and iTunes at No 1, making it the highest-charting album of her career. Since its release, she's garnered massive critical acclaim, received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, embarked on a successful headlining tour and scored her second consecutive gold record.
The tour will see Apple playing fan favorites old and new, including EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE's stunning title track, "Parting Gift," "Tymps (the sick in the head song)" and "O'Sailor" (the video for which has garnered seven Music Video Production Association Award nominations).
EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE has drawn rave reviews from critics nationwide, with the New York Times and Entertainment Weekly each proclaiming it to be the album of the year. Among the gaggle of publications that included it in their "best records of the year" lists were Blender, Spin and Rolling Stone who wrote, "Apple's previous albums were rarely so focused or direct, and at twenty-eight, she's just now hitting her stride." The Los Angeles Times added: "There's an almost irresistible feel-good spirit to this refreshing tale of self-affirmation, served up in a pop cabaret style reminiscent of the rich sophistication of French chanteuse Edith Piaf."
Apple established herself as a visionary singer/songwriter at age 19 with 1996's debut album, Tidal. That stunning record went on to earn her a Grammy Award in 1998 for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance," establishing her as an uncompromising and original artist while gaining intensely loyal fans all over the world. Fiona's second album, When The Pawn...was released in 1999 and showcased her edgy and elegant musical genius. Apple's highly touted albums and captivating videos have garnered accolades from music fans and the industry alike, including two MTV Music Video Awards, two Grammy nominations and worldwide sales exceeding five million units.
Don't miss the opportunity to experience what will easily be the hottest concert ticket of the summer.
