jm-feb13-tour
Following a year that introduced him to international success in 2012, James
McCartney now heads towards an exciting and unprecedented 2013­­ year that
will see him release his first full-length album and embark on a forty-seven
date, twenty-seven state tour of the USA.
McCartney is fresh off the release of his two digital-only EPs, Available
Light and Close At Hand, as well as his first physical release, The Complete
EP Collection, a special two-disc package that includes the debut EPs in
their entirety along with five bonus tracks.
Now, James McCartney is set to release his first full-length album, Me, May
21st on ECR Music Group. “For my first album I wanted to make a record that
would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest,” says McCartney. “An album
that would say, ‘This is who I am…both musically and personally. This is
me.’”
The tour to accompany the release of Me reflects this singular idea.
Beginning April 6th, McCartney will visit forty-seven cities coast to coast
performing a unique solo-acoustic show in intimate and elegant listening
rooms throughout the country. Accompanying himself on guitar and piano,
McCartney’s soaring vocals, songwriting, and musicianship will take center
stage in this distinctive and powerful setting.
Looking forward to the thrilling year ahead and the next phase of his
career, McCartney’s goals are clear. ³Some artists are happy doing the same
thing again and again, but my favorite artists are the ones who evolve and
grow, and I want to be one of them.” With a new album and a major U.S. tour
on the way in 2013, James McCartney continues to raise the stakes, and in
doing so he succeeds in filling some very big shoes . . . his own.
