Jess Chambers Album Release Tour
Jess Chambers is releasing her new album Desire on Monday 26 September. She will be performing four shows in New Zealand to celebrate the release.
The new album is a robust successor to the delicate Jess Chambers And The Firefly Orchestra (2008) but still retains a signature haunting sound. The influence of gothic folk artist Gillian Welch and country mainstays Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash linger in the dusty warmth of this latest collection of songs.
Jess Chambers first made a name for herself lending her ethereal vocals to tracks by electronic artists such as Rhian Sheehan, Module and The Upbeats, before releasing her debut solo album, and later collaborated with a host of top Wellington musicians in The Woolshed Sessions (2008). She's supported international acts such as Fleet Foxes (US), KT Tunstall (UK) and Sarah Harmer (Canada)and won the APRA award for NZ's best country song for Stringing Me Along in 2009.
Jess Chambers is to be supported by Tessa Rain (of Fly My Pretties) for her Wellington, Nelson and Christchurch shows and by Steve Abel and other special guests for her Auckland concert.
