Katie Melua To Bring Simplified Tour To London's Union Chapel

On April 13, Katie Melua will perform at London’s Union Chapel as part of her European Simplified Tour, accompanied by just bass and keyboards.

With this simplified production the focus will be on her voice and the strength of the songs. She said:  

“I know this will test me as a musician like never before but I love the purity and nakedness of performing with hardly any accompaniment. I have always included one or two stripped down songs in my previous gigs but never a whole tour like this. There is nothing to hide behind. Perhaps describing it as acoustic isn't completely accurate, as there will be keyboards and bass, so the tour is called 'Simplified'” 

Earlier this year Melua released her sixth studio album ‘Ketevan’, which entered the UK charts at #6, joining a very small group of female artists, including Madonna and Kate Bush, who have scored six consecutive UK Top 10 studio albums. 

“I'm unbelievably proud to have released 'Ketevan' and though I'll be singing some of the new songs from 'Ketevan' the 'Simplified' tour will cover a wide range of material from all the albums. For anyone who knows my music I hope they will enjoy hearing the songs in this new format. For anyone who might be curious, I hope to share the excitement of something new.”

Melua will be joined by Tim Harries on bass and Mark Edwards on keyboards.
