It's set to be a busy spring for Jersey Budd; he is a special guest for Kasabian on their Teenage Cancer Trust Show, Royal Albert Hall, March 27th, and has support slots booked with Eskimo Joe and Little Feat.
Jersey hits the road with Eskimo Joe in April and also plays 3 acoustic shows with Little Feat in May.
If that wasn't enough Jersey embarks on his own headline tour in May to coincide with the release of his eagerly awaited debut album 'Wonderlands', out May 11th – already gaining rave reviews.
As well as Jersey Budd's touring exploits and the release of his debut album, his new single 'The Shotgun Times' precedes "Wonderlands" by a week and is out May 4th.
Jersey Budd is looking after his growing fan base, offering a £5 download for his fan-funded debut album, which raised £50k for Jersey to record and release, with advance ticket purchases for his May headline tour.
Jersey says: "Being able to download my debut album cheaper if you come to one of my gigs was my idea. I've had people travel over 100 miles to see me and I'll do anything I can to repay or doff my cap that sort of support. I'm absolutely skint myself and I know that even a saving of £3 is a lot of money at the moment - that's 2 pints down The Bulls Head in Leicester!"
