Elvis Costello announces tour with Nick Lowe
Elvis Costello & The Imposters recently released new album The Boy Named If that very much has the spirit of his classic albums with The Attractions. He’s just announced a North American tour supporting it. “Pete Thomas, Steve Nieve and I have been spinning around like your favorite 45rpm for forty-five years and let’s be clear, Davey Faragher isn’t anyone’s deputy,” says Elvis of his band. “The Attractions could have no more made The Boy Named If than we have any desire to time travel back to the 1970s. This is happening right now in 2022, we are coming at you, big as life and twice as ugly.”
Dates kick off August 6 at Ohio’s Rose Music Center and include shows in Toronto, NYC, Boston, Denver, Salt Lake City, Anaheim, Las Vegas and more. Much of the tour, including the NYC show at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on August 11, is with Nick Lowe, who produced many of Elvis’ classic early albums and wrote “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” That’s a very enticing double bill. Other stops on the tour are with Nicole Atkins.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, February 18 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed, along with a stream of The Boy Named If, are below.
