Courtney Marie Andrews Plots Fall 2018 Tour, Headlining U.K. Dates
Courtney Marie Andrews has announced a new run of dates later this fall that includes an extended group of shows supporting the rapidly rising R&B/gospel duo The War and Treaty along with supporting dates for other artists. On the trek, she’ll crisscross the Midwest and Northeast in late October and early November before heading to the United Kingdom for a series of headlining shows in December.
Andrews’ latest tour is in support of May Your Kindness Remain, her 2018 gospel-inflected breakout record, which was released in March. The album tastefully blends the 27-year-old singer’s early love of R&B and soul music with her more recent grounding in folk and roots music.
“I knew I wasn’t going to be an overnight sensation,” the Arizona-raised singer told Rolling Stone Country earlier this year. “I didn’t succumb to the producer or person who told me to do this or that to become famous. I just did what I wanted, and that’s more important: to be true to the art.”
Last month, Andrews released “Heart and Mind,” a stand-alone single that addresses sexual harassment and abuse in stark terms. “Even if our bodies have been misused or taken advantage of, we have the power to speak with our hearts and minds,” said Andrews in a release. “The most powerful way to display that message is with simple conversations with those who love us.”
Andrews will begin her fall touring obligations, which include dates opening for both Margo Price and Joshua Hedley, with an appearance at San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass on October 6th.
