Jessica Lea Mayfield will be the musical guest on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight. She and her band will perform "Our Hearts Are Wrong," off her Nonesuch debut album, Tell Me. Also on tonight's show are Glee star Matthew Morrison (who can be heard on the Nonesuch cast recording of Adam Guettel's The Light in the Piazza) and comedian Jeff Altman. Tune in to see the Late Show on CBS tonight at 11:35 PM ET.
Tell Me, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, is out now. Head to the Nonesuch Store for a special bundle of Tell Me with the vinyl 7" single of "Our Hearts Are Wrong," signed by Mayfield.
Mayfield is set to tour Europe in May and June, following her US tour, which includes several sets at next month's SXSW Music Festival. The European tour begins in Belgium on May 27 and includes concerts in Ireland, UK, France, Germany, and Holland. Well before then, she will visit the BBC Radio 6 studios in Manchester, England, this Wednesday, March 2, to talk with host Marc Riley and perform live in studio; the show starts at 7 PM GMT. She'll give a free in-store performance at Fopp in Covent Gardens in London the following day, Thursday, March 3.
The Irish Times, in its review of Tell Me, finds "her voice sitting comfortably and authentically, between the back-roads rasp of Lucinda Williams and the narcoleptic calm of Hope Sandoval. In a word, lovely."
