Jessica Lea Mayfield is in the UK this week, bringing the music of her recently released Nonesuch debut album, Tell Me, to the British airwaves and a live in-store performance. At the same time, she has added several new dates to her already busy spring tour schedule.
Mayfield was on BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley show last night, performing three songs off of Tell Me—"Our Hearts Are Wrong," "Blue Skies Again," and "Somewhere in Your Heart"—and talking with Riley about the new album. You can hear the episode at bbc.co.uk, where the first segment begins at around 19 minutes in, and the second segment begins at around 48 minutes.
Earlier in the week, she appeared on BBC 6 Music's Nemone show. You can listen to the interview at bbc.co.uk; Mayfield’s segment begins at one hour and eight minutes in. Nemone has also made "Our Hearts Are Wrong" her "Lunchtime Love" record of the week, which means listeners have been hearing the song each day this week.
Mayfield is in London tonight for a free in-store performance at Fopp in Covent Gardens. She'll also be doing a live session on XFM's X-Posure with John Kennedy tonight. The show starts at 10 PM.
On Saturday, Mayfield is back on the BBC, performing on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends, which airs at 6:15 PM. You can listen in live at bbc.co.uk.
Following her visit to the UK, Mayfield returns to the States to launch her extensive US tour, which includes several events at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin and has now been extended into May with some 18 new dates added to the tour. See below for all of the currently scheduled tour dates. For more information and ticket links, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
Tell Me, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, is out now. Head to the Nonesuch Store for a special bundle of Tell Me with the vinyl 7" single of "Our Hearts Are Wrong," signed by Mayfield.
