Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney will tour the United Kingdom this spring, including six shows as special guest of Ben Folds on his tour of England with the New York City–based yMusic ensemble. Chaney will perform in two UK festivals—ATP Festival in North Wales in April and the London Festival of Baroque Music in May—before joining Folds and the ensemble for concerts in Manchester, Gateshead, Brighton, and Cambridge, as well as two nights at the London Palladium. Before then, she heads to the United States to perform at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville in March. See below for all of her currently scheduled shows; for the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Olivia Chaney made her album debut with the release of The Longest River last April. "Her voice holds the purity, tension, dignity and sorrow of a heritage full of songs about lost love and cruel fate," says the New York Times. "Chaney is thoroughly grounded in the past, from medieval music to [Joni] Mitchell. But in her quiet way, she's radical." The Observer calls the album "an enchanting, stately creation." PopMatters exclaims: "It's pretty much perfect."

The Longest River was featured on Best of the Year lists from All Music, fRoots, the Independent ("the most absorbing folk album of the year"), MOJO, and Uncut. To pick up a copy, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
