What a month! 20 shows in 30 days and 8,000 miles. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to listen and show support…. it was wonderful to see old friends and to make new ones along the way. Endless amounts of gratitude to Stu Larsen for the opportunity to open for him on this amazing adventure. I could not have asked for a nicer guy with whom to have shared this experience.
When Mike and I were on the road in North America last year, a guy came to me after a show in Washington, D.C. and gave me three of his road trip CDs which he thought we might like. We fell in love with one of them in particular, an album called Tall Tales by Adam Burrows. It quickly became a favourite and I’ve had a number of these tracks stuck in my head over the last six months.
In fact, I loved these songs so much that I got in touch with Adam to tell him how much I loved his work and I ended up inviting him to tour with me through North America this month! I love how this world connects people.
Nashville, TN— April 22, 2014 —The last few years have been full of changes for Adam Burrows. He has gone through a divorce, sold his house, moved, and remarried. Now, after eight and a half years at the same job, he is saying farewell to 9-5 and in May will embark on a new adventure that will lead him (and his guitar) around North America with singer-songwriter Stu Larsen.
Adam’s newest release, Forward (available April 29, 2014) is a collection of songs that speak to life’s unexpected challenges and surprises, while giving hope that there is always a chance for new beginnings. Independently released on Me and the Machine Records, Adam worked very closely with producer Josh Preston to deliver an album constructed of equal parts risk and patience; not unlike the most recent years of Burrows’ life.
Adam Burrows represents a new generation of American songwriters taking the less-travelled road and in a few short days, he’ll be on his way… continuing to move forward.
I’m excited to announce that I will be supporting Mr. Stu Larsen on his North America tour for the month of May. I’d love to see friends and family while traveling across the States if possible. Please see dates below and email me if you can make it to a show.
