Laura Mvula returns to North America For Headlining Tour Dates

UK singer-songwriter Laura Mvula will return to North America for a string of headlining dates in September.

After selling out New York's Bowery Ballroom in May, she will kick off the run with a pair of dates in NYC at Le Poisson Rouge and Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, before heading off to Toronto, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and ending at LA's El Rey Theatre. Tickets for all dates will go on sale this Friday, June 14.

Mvula's performances both live and on her debut Sing To The Moon have met with amazing critical praise both in the US and at home in the UK. The New York Times said of her Bowery Ballroom performance "more akin to the recent wave of female singer-songwriters - Tune-Yards, Julianna Barwick, even Joanna Newsom-who shape whole, complex, tightly orchestrated musical worlds around their words... her songs here were full of tactile multipart harmonies and arrangements that allowed each instrument to breathe," while Vogue called their Artist of the Week's performance "a wall of sound that ensconces the audience in Mvula's unique brand of soul/rock/gospel."

At home in the UK, the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Guardian, the Telegraph, and Metro all gave Sing To The Moon 4 stars and the Independent on Sunday gave the album 5 stars, and the Sunday Times selected it as their Album of the Week. She was also nominated for the 2013 BRITs Critics' Choice Award and ranked fourth on the shortlist for the coveted BBC Sound of 2013. Mvula made her UK TV debut on The Graham Norton Show, where she performed the lively track "Green Garden," and has also performed on Later... With Jools Holland andAlan Carr: Chatty Man. She recently completed a tour with Jessie Ware and will perform this summer on Glastonbury's main Pyramid Stage.
