Elvis Costello Expands Radio Soul!: The Early Songs Of Elvis Costello Tour

Elvis Costello announced additional dates of his Radio Soul!: The Early Songs Of Elvis Costello Tour. The newly confirmed shows will see the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revisiting his early catalog across multiple cities in September and October.

Costello previously confirmed the first leg of the Radio Soul!: The Early Songs Of Elvis Costello Tour. The shows will be performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton between June 12 in Seattle and July 12 in Miami.

Costello previewed the retrospective performances, which will pull from album released between 1977’s My Aim Is True and 1986’s Blood & Chocolate, stating:

“You can expect the unexpected and the faithful in equal measure. Don’t forget this show is ‘Performed by Elvis Costello & The Imposters,’ an ensemble which includes three people who first recorded this music and two more who bring something entirely new. They are nobody’s tribute band.

The Imposters are a living, breathing, swooning, swinging, kicking and screaming rock and roll band who can turn their hands to a pretty ballad when the opportunity arises.”

“If there is an encore and we play, ‘Farewell, OK,’ it probably means some of those ‘Early Songs’ will have been performed in your city for the very last time. I don’t want to go back, I want to bring these songs into the present day, once more, in the event they are ever pushed out of the way by the next number that I write.

“You could say time is running out but only time will tell.

“Don’t be late, the band hits at eight.”

The Radio Soul!: The Early Songs Of Elvis Costello Tour resumes in Bethlehem (Pennsylvania) on September 18, followed by a performance in Atlantic City (New Jersey) on September 19.
