Shelby Lynne comes to Stage One August 7th.
Fairfield, CT – Grammy winner Shelby Lynne is on an acoustic tour in support of her album, Tears, Lies, And Alibis, and will be playing in Fairfield, CT on August 7th at Stage One. U.K. artist Findlay Brown will be opening. Tickets are on sale now.
Tears, Lies, And Alibis, in stores now, marks the first release on Lynne’s own newly founded label, EVERSO RECORDS, which will be distributed through Fontana, the award-winning independent distribution division of Universal Music Group. Coming on the heels of Just a Little Lovin’, Lynne’s critically acclaimed 2008 tribute to Dusty Springfield, Tears, Lies, And Alibis affirms her position as a visionary, iconoclastic artist who deftly weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences to forge her own unique style. Like Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005), this sparse, unguarded collection was produced by Lynne, who evokes a live-in-the-studio vibe from a stellar group of musicians.
Drawing inspiration from the everyday, Lynne uses the familiar to render a complex internal landscape. From the exuberant “Rains Came” and dreamy “Something To Be Said,” her ode to the iconic Airstream trailer, to the restless, bluesy “Old Dog“ and poignant “Alibi,” her evocative imagery brings to life the scarred yet determined group of survivors whose stories are told in Tears, Lies, And Alibis.
Last December, Lynne played a sold-out show at New York City’s Carnegie Hall for public radio station WFUV, eliciting praise from The Wall Street Journal’s “Speakeasy” for her “lean, elegant arrangements” and the “soulful” new song “Alibi.” Upcoming tour dates are as follows:
