Aoife O’Donovan - who recently unveiled her new solo album All My Friends - has announced a collection of new tour dates this Summer and Fall with support from instrumental acoustic ensemble Hawktail, including The Wallis Center for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles. The dates will follow a previously-announced East Coast run this summer, plus performances at Freshgrass Festival (with The University of Arkansas Children’s Choir), Light In The Eastern Sky Festival(curated by O’Donovan and featuring Virginia-based artists Yasmin Williams and The Wildmans), Spoleto Festival (with members of the Spoleto Festival Orchestra and members of the Palmetto Youth Choir), Heartland Festival (Denmark), Cambridge Folk Festival (UK), Green Mountain Bluegrass Festival (with Crooked Still), The National Concert Hall (with Rosanne Cash and John Levanthal), and O’Donovan’s Barbican Hall debut in London (with Eric Jacobsen conducting the Guildhall Session Orchestra and Music Centre London Session Choir). 

The New England-born, Orlando-based singer-songwriter’s new solo album defies any concept of genre as she "reaches back into women’s history" (NPR 1A) during a tumultuous election year. All My Friends - O’Donovan’s first self-produced LP - features an incredible cast of guest musicians, including Anaïs Mitchell, Sierra Hull, Noam Pikelny, The Knights, The Westerlies, The San Francisco Girls Chorus, Alan Hampton, Griffin Goldsmith and more. The 9-song collection is inspired by the passage of the 19th amendment and the evolving landscape of women’s rights in America over the past century. As O’Donovan explained in an interview with Jezebel, she measures her own perspective as a woman and mother in the present, against those of the past across the album, specifically the perspectives of the suffragettes who paved the way for women today. She artfully draws on speeches and letters by Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of the League of Women Voters, to write intricately filigreed new, original songs infused with modern viewpoint.

O’Donovan has released a new live performance video of album single “Someone To Follow,” featuring Noam Pikelny (banjo), Philip Krohnengold (accordion), Alan Hampton (bass) and Griffin Goldsmith (drums). Watch the video HERE.
