"Folk Rock With Kristofferson Attitude" (EW) - Heaven's Jail Announce First US Tour, Including Special Appearance With Phosphorescent For NPR's Cabinet Of Wonders

Heaven's Jail have announced their first national tour in support of their upcoming 'Ace Called Zero' (out 8/26), including their debut shows in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Chicago in addition to an album release show at NYC's Baby's All Right. The band will also play a special show for NPR's Cabinet of Wonders at City Winery 9/19, with Heaven's Jail frontman Francesco Ferorelli joined by the album's producer, Phosphorescent's Matthew Houck, live for the first time. The pair will play intimate, reimagined versions of Heaven's Jail songs, plus a few surprises.

"Francesco is my favorite kind of songwriter: sensitive but not sappy, smart but not precious," Houck says. "He has the ability to casually sneak complex imagery and metaphor into a deceptively simple package. It's just great songwriting. Simple as that."

Produced by Houck -- the first time he's produced a band that wasn't his own -- and engineered by The Men's Ben Greenberg, 'Ace Called Zero' is a 10-song set Entertainment Weekly called "folk rock with an attitude that recalls sardonic '70s singer-songwriters like Kris Kristofferson and Loudon Wainwright III."
