Overview
Following the successes of recent album 'Capital' – released in March through Xtra Mile Recordings – Chris T-T is embarking on a co-headline UK tour with pal, Electric Soft Parade's Thomas White.
Chris has been rather busy of late. The final part of his London trilogy, 'Capital', received wide critical acclaim from all sections of the music press and radio, securing glowing reviews from the likes of Sunday Times, Q, Uncut, NME and Plan B and plays and sessions on Radio 1, 2, 6Music and XFM.
On the live circuit, Chris and his new band blasted through the country rocking out each venue on his headlining tour. He then stopped off at the 100 Club in London to join former Carter USM singer Jim Bob on piano for 2 sold-out shows. From there he has now joined label mate Frank Turner on his sold out album tour for a handful of dates, as unannounced (except for here) support and as piano player for a couple of Frank's songs.
The month of May will see Chris team up with Thomas White for some fantastic shows up and down the country. Thomas White first rose to attention with his brother Alex at the helm of The Electric Soft Parade, he then went on to be guitarist for Brakes and now he has now revealed himself to be a damn fine solo artist and songwriter. He's now promoting his debut solo album 'I Dream Of Black'.
