K.D. Lang returns to US this fall
K.D. Lang has added another US leg to the world tour supporting her latest album, "Watershed."
The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, who's already been through the US, Australia and New Zealand this year, is currently touring her home country of Canada. She continues tomorrow night (5/29) in Montreal, and will wrap with a mid-June, two-night stand in Vancouver before heading to Europe for a month.
Lang's next US run is set to kick off Sept. 27 in Westhampton Beach, NY, and make its way across the country through mid-November, with pianist Dustin O'Halloran continuing his role as special guest. Lang's North American dates are detailed below, while overseas shows can be found at her website.
"Watershed," which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 in February, marks Lang's 10th studio album and her first time as sole producer. In putting together the collection of all-original songs, the performer said she didn't feel the need to be genre specific.
"Watershed is like a culmination of everything I've done--there's a little bit of jazz, a little country, a little of the Ingénue sound, a little Brazilian touch," Lang explained in her bio. "It really feels like the way I hear music, this mash-up of genres, and I think it reflects all the styles that have preceded this in my catalogue."
A few songs from the record are streaming at the singer's MySpace page.
The new album follows 2004's "Hymns of the 49th Parallel," on which Lang interprets songs from fellow Canadian artists including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. Her last set of all-new material before "Watershed" was 2000's "Invincible Summer."
