JerseyShore native, Nicole Atkins has confirmed a winter tour in support of her upcoming album Mondo Amore, out January 25, 2011. The tour begins in New York on February 9th, and ends up in Philadelphia on March 10th. The complete itinerary is below.
The loose collective of musicians who assisted Atkins on Mondo Amore has now morphed into a leaner, meaner backing trio, now dubbed The Black Sea, who will join her on this tour. Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea will be supported on this tour by folk-pop duo Cotton Jones.
“Vultures,” the lead track off Mondo Amore is now available as a free MP3 HERE. Stereogum calls it “passionately dark, bleak, but not without heart – twisted and bluesy.” SPIN said Mondo Amore “expands Atkins’ sound,” yet “has roots in her well-crafted pop swells.”
