Sister Sparrow Announces New Album & US Tour

Soul-rock singer will release a new studio album entitled Gold on October 12 via Thirty Tigers. Sister Sparrow will support the LP with a series of U.S. tour dates.

Vocalist Arleigh Kincheloe, a.k.a. Sister Sparrow, worked with producer and co-writer Carter Matschullat on Gold at Brooklyn’s DØØM Studio. The album’s first single, “Ghost,” is due on August 3. Gold is said to take the “classic Dirty Birds sound and turns it into something altogether new, a soul-blasted contemporary pop approach supremely suited for Kincheloe’s immense voice and even greater vision,” as per materials announcing the forthcoming record.

While Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds have shortened the name to Sister Sparrow in time for the release of the new LP, Arleigh will still be backed by the band on tour. The tour begins with a free concert at Athens Riverfront Park in Athens, New York on August 30 ahead of a performance at Levitt Pavilion Steelstacks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on August 31. September dates include appearances at Blues Views & BBQ, Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, Grand Point North and Borderland.

Sister Sparrow celebrates Halloween in Chicago and then starts November with shows in the Michigan cities of Grand Rapids and Ferndale. The tour continues with stops in Millvale (Pennsylvania), Hartford, Philadelphia, Albany, Allston (Massachusetts) and Washington, D.C. Sister Sparrow begins December with a hometown show at Irving Plaza in New York City on December 1 and then heads to California for performances in Los Angeles on December 5 and San Francisco on December 6.
