American singer-songwriter Joshua Radin has announced a duo of September UK shows, in support of his forthcoming new album ‘Underwater’, out July 30th.
The folk/acoustic star will cross the pond this autumn and perform tracks from ‘Underwater’, with his schedule taking him to London’s KOKO on September 26th and the Manchester Academy the following day. Tickets go onsale this Friday (July 13th) at 9am - you can find them through Stereoboard.
Radin’s new release finds sees the star working with an array of accomplished musicians, including Benmont Tench, Jim Keltner (Bob Dylan, John Lennon) and string arranger Jimmie Haskell (Simon & Garfunkel). Joshua recently premiered material from the album at an exclusive showcase at Montague House, the private London residence where John Lennon lived and worked.
Since childhood, doctors warned Joshua Radin - who, as a toddler suffered a punctured eardrum - that he ran a grave risk of piercing pain if he ever immersed himself in water. “I said, ‘Alright, I’m just going to live my life on land,’” he explained. That changed last year. He was penning Underwater in Los Angeles in near seclusion - an antidote to the last two years of being crammed on a tour bus with his band. And one day, he woke up and realized there was inspiration in the Pacific. So he bought earplugs and took the plunge. “It was mind-blowingly cool,” he says. Even when I’m sleeping in bed, I can hear my heartbeat. I never realized the silence one experiences underwater. My brain was totally free to come up with a melody line, and that’s where this album began, underwater.”
