The inspirational and prolific folk hero Chris T-T heads out on a far-reaching tour this month performing a variety of shows.

 

The majority of shows will be solo, performing songs from his extensive back catalogue spanning seven studio albums, including Capital and Love Is Not Rescue both released through Xtra Mile Recordings. For these dates Chris will be joined on tour by the exceptional accordion wielding Franz Nicolay, formally of The Hold Steady.

 

In between these dates Chris will play his own shows performing songs from his recent collection ‘Disobedience – Chris T-T Sings A.A Milne” an album of beautiful music set to poetry from the great writer.
