Busy touring season ahead for Feist

Singer/songwriter Leslie Feist [ tickets ], fresh off a huge trophy haul from the Canadian Juno awards, has added many new dates to her upcoming road plans for the rest of the year.

The Canadian singer--who also claimed the 7th annual Shortlist Prize in February--has sketched out a new US summer headlining run as well as a fall outing in her home country to go along with her current trek, which kicks off Thursday (4/10) in Detroit, MI.

Aside from the nearly 40 North American cities the singer currently is scheduled to visit this year, Feist will also fit in a European jaunt in May and June. All US and Canadian dates are shown below, and Feist's overseas schedule can be found at her website.

Feist, who performs and records simply under her surname, continues to back last year's "The Reminder," which she pieced together while on a 33-month tour behind her previous album, 2004's "Let It Die," according to her online biography.

Videos of "1234," "My Moon, My Man" and "I Feel It All," all singles from the singer's current album, can be found at her website.

Feist is the first Canadian Shortlist Prize winner. She joins Irish singer Damien Rice and Iceland's Sigur Ros as non-US winners of the award, which previously has been given to Sufjan Stevens, NERD and TV On the Radio. Other finalists this year selected from an initial list of 54 nominees included Burial, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., Stars and Working for a Nuclear Free City.

Feist--who was nominated in four Grammy categories this year but came home empty-handed from the February award ceremonies--won five Juno awards, the Canadian Grammy equivalent, earlier this month, including wins for Artist of the Year and Album of the Year.
