Our new playlist of the best new Americana we’ve heard over the last month is out later today exclusively for AUK supporters which includes new tracks by Steve Wynn, Dean Owens, Kyle Daniel, American Aquarium, Amy Rigby, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings among others – basically we trawl through the best Americana we’ve heard recently so you don’t have to. Our giveaway this month for supporters is a pair of tickets to see acclaimed singer-songwriter Sunny Sweeney who has announced the 10th anniversary release of her iconic album “Provoked”. The new LP, titled “Still Provoked”, was released on August 30th via Thirty Tigers and available for the very first time on vinyl. The first single from Still Provoked, “My Own Lane” – a co-write with Natalie Hemby and one of two brand new songs on the record – is out now – you can hear it below. In November, Sweeney will make a welcome return to the UK, where she is building a growing audience for her “warmth, class, style and devastating humour” (according to Entertainment Focus, and who are we to argue?), for live dates as follows:
Tue Nov 5 – Southampton, 1865
Wed Nov 6 – Stowmarket, John Peel Arts Centre
Fri Nov 8 – Shrewsbury, St Marys
Sat Nov 9 – Leek, Foxlowe Arts Centre
Mon Nov 11 – Edinburgh, Voodoo Rooms
Tue Nov 12 – Glasgow, Slay
Wed Nov 13 – Lincoln, The Drill
Thur Nov 14 – Birmingham, Kitchen Garden Café
Fri Nov 15 – Bury, The Met
Sun Nov 17 – London, Lexington
For more details and ticketing head to Sweeney’s official website here.
You can become an AUK supporter for as little as £2 a month for which princely sum you will receive a monthly exclusive supporters playlist along with being entered into our monthly prize draw.
Sunny is absolutely worth seeing. Great band and Texan funny
