Olivia Chaney kicks off a three-week North American tour featuring music from her debut album, The Longest River, at Roulette in Brooklyn on Wednesday, culminating in a return to NYC for a show at Joe's Pub on June 25. "With an earthiness to her expressive soprano, Chaney is bringing the grand tradition of British folk music into the 21st century," says the New Yorker. "Baez, Collins, Mitchell, Marling," exclaims PopMatters; "the debut folk album by Olivia Chaney shows that she belongs in this company. It's pretty much perfect."

London-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney, whose debut album, The Longest River, was released on Nonesuch Records this spring, kicks off a North American tour featuring music from the new album with a performance at Roulette in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday. The show, part of the Spinning on Air series curated by WNYC's David Garland, is the first on a three-week tour of the United States and Canada culminating with a return to New York for a performance at Joe's Pub on June 25. See below for all of the currently scheduled dates and tickets; for all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour. Before the tour launch, she performs songs from the new album on WFMU's Irene Trudel show, which you can hear here.
"She embraces songs about sex, death, unrequited love, and murder, and, following in the tradition of June Tabor, Maddy Prior, and Sandy Denny, has a talent for savvy arrangements," says The New Yorker's John Donohue. "With an earthiness to her expressive soprano, Chaney is bringing the grand tradition of British folk music into the twenty-first century."
"Live, Chaney has a casual yet commanding presence," Donohue goes on to say. "When she takes her place behind the harmonium to summon its low moaning notes and, with a steely gaze, starts singing, it’s as if a mystical spirit has entered the room."
"Baez, Collins, Mitchell, Marling," exclaims PopMatters; "the debut folk album by Olivia Chaney shows that she belongs in this company. It's pretty much perfect."
"Every few years I discover an album by a band whose music I don’t know, and I’m simply blown away by their talent, by how much their songs make me feel and imagine," says PopMatters reviewer Mark Allister. "It’s happened again, though this time not with a rock band but, to my surprise, with a British folk singer.
Allister goes on to explain: "Each song is unique—after enough listens, you realize it’s exactly what you didn’t know you were waiting for. I am not aficionado enough of traditional British folk music to rave about this record because of the traditional ballads, as good as they are. What makes this album transcendent is how Chaney’s original compositions speak to, enlarge, and finally contain within themselves this line of traditional music even as they’re exploring contemporary subjects."
He concludes: "Chaney is a major talent, whose record doesn’t just suggest that there’s greatness ahead. The record is great."
The Longest River is available at iTunes and the Nonesuch Store, where CD orders include a download of the complete album at checkout; the album is also available to purchase there in HD digital.

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, who kick off their International Players tour in Manchester, England, on Saturday, are on Sound Opinions to talk about their new album, Ohio Players, with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, who call them "one of the greatest rock acts to emerge in the 21st century." You can hear their conversation here. The hosts also review Hurray for the Riff Raff's new album, The Past Is Still Alive, calling it "one great tune after another."
