She will travel to London this week for two shows – including a performance at the HMV Next Big Thing Festival – before returning home to headline two of her own gigs, on Valentine’s Day at Muddy Waters in Santa Barbara, CA, and on February 16 at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles, CA. Lissie will then head out to sea to perform on the Cayamo 2010: A Journey Through Song cruise from February 21-26 alongside Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett, among others. Beginning March 11, she will tour in support of The Low Anthem en route to SXSW. Lissie is also now confirmed to perform on select dates of the Lilith Fair tour later this year.
Lissie’s Why You Runnin’ EP was released November 10, 2009 on Fat Possum Records and has been earning the young singer high praise, with coverage in Bust, Filter, Marie Claire, Nylon, and Under The Radar, among others. In addition to the recent Best of What’s Next profile in Paste, the Boston Globe included her in their Names To Know in 2010 feature, declaring she is “…not so much a soul singer as she is an incredibly soulful Americana artist who finds the sepia-toned sweet spot between Neko Case, Laura Marling, and the Shangri-Las.”
Her live shows have been drawing acclaim as well, with Soundcheck Magazine‘s blog writing, “The first time I heard Lissie on Minneapolis’ ‘The Current’ I had only one reaction: this is the breakout artist of 2010, I’m calling it now. Seeing her perform live at Central Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX merely confirmed this assumption. Lissie, standing like a dirty angel under the cross performing…singing, wailing, about angels following her home – pretty freakin epic if you ask me.”
Lissie has also recently stopped by a number of outlets to record or film live sessions, including: Baeble Music‘s Guest Apartment, Daytrotter, The Fader‘s Open Bar, HearYa, and Yours Truly.
