Missy's Back... And This Time She's Bringing Her Band

BURBANK, CA. (By Rick Gershon/ Warner Bros. Records) - Acclaimed singer/songwriter Missy Higgins will finally bring her band to the US for a handful of shows in June.

Missy has done over 100 shows across the US in the last year including stints supporting fellow troubadours like Ray LaMontagne, Howie Day, Gavin DeGraw and Jason Mraz. However, her previous tours have all been in solo or duo mode, so these will be her first ever US shows with the full band that has made her one of Australia's most popular live performers.

Like British singer/songwriters James Blunt and KT Tunstall, Missy Higgins has enjoyed phenomenal success in her homeland lately, and that story is now starting to spread stateside. Her critically lauded debut album, "SOUND OF WHITE," was Australia's highest selling album last year and its lead single, "Scar," is currently scaling the US airplay charts.

Missy has built her Aussie audience on touring and her concerts there attract crowds of 10,000 to 20,000 people. Her US dates will, of course, see her performing in much more intimate settings.

"I'm really looking forward to these shows," says Missy. "Even though I've done a lot of US gigs recently, I feel like people have only seen me doing the solo thing, and that's totally different from playing with your band. It will be fun for us to get back into some small clubs too."

Dates for Missy and her band are as follows:
Thu June 8 Canal Room New York, NY
Fri June 9 Club Passim Cambridge, MA
Sun June 11 The Alice Summerthing (Golden Gate Park) San Francisco, CA
Tue June 13 Roseland Grill Portland, OR
Wed June 14 Crocodile Cafe Seattle, WA
Sat June 17 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Telluride, CO
Mon June 19 The Roxy Los Angeles, CA
Prior to these shows Missy will also perform some solo dates in the Midwest including a headlining show at Martyrs in Chicago on Tuesday, June 6th.
