Lindi Ortega announces February and March UK tour (2013)
Story by Jack Foley
RUBY-lipped, raven-haired beauty Lindi Ortega pulls on her bright red cowboy boots once again in February and March for a UK jaunt.
The singer will play a total of 10 UK dates, including a night at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen.
The dates are (all February and March 2013):
February
26 – Oxford, Jericho Tavern
27 – Birmingham, Hare & Hounds
28 – Liverpool, Leaf
March
1 – Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms
2 – Glasgow, Nice N Sleazy
4 – Manchester, Soup Kitchen
5 – Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
6 – Bristol, Fleece
7 – London, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen
8 – Brighton, Green Door Store
Special guest support comes from Zervas & Pepper.
After springing onto the scene last year with debut, self-confessed “countrypolitan” debut Little Red Boots, the Canadian singer- songwriter delighted audiences at some of first ever UK live outings.
Now she’s back January 21 with Cigarettes & Truckstops, her second full-length LP on Last Gang Records, and a stunning testament to her recent move to Nashville – Lindi’s spiritual home.
Despite keeping many of the folk-led, Americana flavours as her debut, it is a genuine country article but with a bluesy thread running straight through the middle.
