London-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney has made her way back across the Atlantic to join The Decemberists as their special guest for several shows of their US tour this week. The supporting sets, featuring music from her debut album, The Longest River, begin at the Iroquois Amphitheater in Louisville tonight, followed by stops at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, Overture Hall in Madison, Majestic Theatre in Dallas, and ACL Live at the Moody Theater in Austin, an ACL Festival Late Night Show, on Saturday. Chaney then heads to California to round out her US tour with a special solo show at McCabe's in Santa Monica on Sunday. For details and tickets, on sale now, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Chaney made her album debut with the release of The Longest River on Nonesuch Records earlier this year. On the album, Chaney balances her original compositions with a broad array of covers she has newly arranged, from jazz to Purcell to folk. "Her voice holds the purity, tension, dignity and sorrow of a heritage full of songs about lost love and cruel fate," says the New York Times. "Chaney is thoroughly grounded in the past, from medieval music to [Joni] Mitchell. But in her quiet way, she’s radical." The Observer calls the album "an enchanting, stately creation." PopMatters exclaims: "It's pretty much perfect."

To pick up a copy of The Longest River, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where CD orders include a download of the complete album at checkout; the album is also available to purchase there in HD digital.
