Gearing up for the early 2012 release of their debut album 'Barton Hollow', The Civil Wars have announced a UK tour for March 2012.
A new band fresh out of Nashville, The Civil Wars released their debut UK 7” single ‘Barton Hollow’ independently on their own Sensibility Music label in October.
An enigmatic duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White, they are a huge DIY success story in the US having independently sold over 170,000 copies of the ‘Barton Hollow’ album already through touring and word of mouth. The album reached Number One on the US iTunes chart and the duo have received widespread critical acclaim for their music and live shows.
With flavours of blues, folk, Americana, country and classic singer-songwriter their sound is firmly rooted in the gothic American South. Check out the video for ‘Barton Hollow’ below.
The duo have recently finished a tour with Adele, who personally chose them to support her on both her US and UK tour, saying “The Civil Wars are by far the BEST live band I have EVER seen.”
