Rhiannon Giddens begins a tour of the UK and Ireland, featuring music from her latest album, Freedom Highway, at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London tonight. The tour continues with concerts in Bristol, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, Pocklington, Manchester, Dublin, and Glasgow, culminating at the Sage Gateshead on November 28. Her live show is “magnificent,” says the Guardian, “a virtuoso slice of Americana."

See below for details. For all the latest, including four performances with Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne in France next month and a number of US dates announced for the new year, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Giddens was recently named a MacArthur Fellow for 2017 and was nominated for International Artist of the Year at the 2018 UK Americana Awards. Her new album, Freedom Highway, has just been nominated for Best New Album of 2017 in the fRoots critics poll. The Guardian calls it a “powerful and timely set,” and Uncut named the "remarkably wise and timely new album" its Album of the Month. Pitchfork exclaims: "Rhiannon Giddens emerges as a peerless and powerful voice in roots music."

Freedom Highway is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and in the Nonesuch Store and can be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.

    Donnacha Dennehy’s Land of Winter is out now. The piece, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece." You can watch a video for “July" here.
