Atlantic Records’ new protégé Carly Connor has announced a UK headline tour in February 2012, in response to her sold out shows in December.
Signed on the spot after auditioning for Atlantic Records, Carly is an exciting new Scottish talent set for major success in 2012. Since moving to London two years ago, Carly has been writing and perfecting her debut album, set for release next year.
Carly’s songwriting and heartfelt lyrics have been shaped by her Glasgow childhood, and draws on influences such as Janis Joplin and early Tina Turner records. She has been performing live since she was just 11 years old and delivers her songs with a unique and powerful voice. Speaking about the tour next year, Carly explains: ”This is a really exciting time for me and it has been overwhelming to have received such a great response to the shows so far. I can’t wait to get back out on the road in 2012 and give it some welly, just like the ones I was wearing at Rockness man”.
At just 19, Carly has already supported fellow Scot Paolo Nutini on tour across the UK and in Europe, including playing to 10000 fans at the Estadio Municipal, Milan. She was also selected by Claude Nobs to play this year’s Montreux Jazz Festival, billed alongside Chaka Khan, as well as performances at Arthur’s Day in Dublin and Rockness.
December will see Carly play a string of headline dates in Scotland as well as support The View at their Dunfermline, Inverness, Glasgow and Dundee shows as part of their Christmas tour.
