Back from making his debut at SXSW last week, Charlie Simpson is all set to head out on his UK headline tour which kicks off on Wednesday in Ipswich followed by a sold-out gig at London's KOKO this Thursday.
This coming Sunday, 25th March, sees the release of his new EP, 'Farmer & His Gun'. The four-track EP includes a re-recorded version of 'Farmer & His Gun' taken from his hugely successful top ten debut solo album 'Young Pilgrim', and there's also a cover version of Jackson Brown's 'Barricades of Heaven'.
The EP will be made available as a digital download, CD and two 7” vinyls and is accompanied by a video from acclaimed animation director Alice Dupre who’s previous work includes ‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’ and ‘Nanny McPhee’.
2011 was a stellar year for Charlie. His single ‘Cemetery’ was selected as the iTunes Single Of The Week and the lead single from the album ‘Down Down Down’ was rapturously received by Charlie’s fans, including Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton who selected it as her ‘Record Of The Week’.
March 2012 sees Charlie hit the road again to play shows in Birmingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh to name but a few.
