Rhiannon Giddens, having just returned from tours of Europe and Australia, where she offered audiences "a virtuoso slice of Americana" in a "magnificent" show (Guardian), begins an extensive spring and summer tour of the United States at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, on Friday. She takes the music of her new album, Freedom Highway, across the Southwest, down to New Orleans and Atlanta, up to her home state of North Carolina and to DC, Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City, where she performs at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall for the American Songbook series in May. The tour resumes in June and continues through the summer, with headlining shows across the South and Midwest and sets at festivals like Chicago Blues, Spoleto, Newport Folk, Newport Jazz, and ROMP, plus three dates supporting Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. See below for all of the currently scheduled dates; for the latest as new dates are announced, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Freedom Highway, the follow-up to Giddens’s 2015 solo debut Tomorrow Is My Turn, was released on Nonesuch in February to critical acclaim. The Guardian calls it a “powerful and timely set,” and Uncut named the "remarkably wise and timely new album" its Album of the Month. Pitchfork exclaims: "Rhiannon Giddens emerges as a peerless and powerful voice in roots music,” while the Wall Street Journal concludes: "Detailed, strongly conceived and powerful in its music, singing and songs, Rhiannon Giddens’s Freedom Highway will get to you, and stick with you."

Freedom Highway is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and in the Nonesuch Store and can be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.
