Kasey Chambers gears up for U.S. dates
Australian singer-songwriter Kasey Chambers has scheduled a month of U.S. tour dates, and will start by making good on a show she was forced to cancel last year.
Chambers' last U.S. tour came to an abrupt end when, six-months pregnant, she fainted near the beginning of a February concert in San Francisco. As a result, she also called off a planned show in Seattle. Her son, Talon, was born in May.
The new tour will open at Seattle's Moore Theatre, and will stop in San Francisco four days later.
Steve Earle once dubbed Chambers "the best hillbilly singer I've heard in a long, long time." Her sophomore album, "Barricades and Brickwalls," was released in the U.S. last January, and recently netted her three Aria awards, which are the Australian equivalent of the GRAMMY®s.
Chambers--a native of the Nullarbor Plain on Australia's southern Central Coast--recorded her debut album, "The Captain," in 1998 and released it in the U.S. in 2000.
