US 2008 dates announced!!We are pleased to announce that William will be playing 2 exclusive acoustic only performances on Dec 18th at The Mission in Portland, OR, and on December 20th at The Bluebird in Denver, CO. The 3 piece line-up will feature William on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, long-time musical accompanist Luke Brighty on guitar and backing vocals, and Dorie Jackson on percussion and BVs. Dorie has been recording and performing with William in the UK for a number of years. William says of the exciting new show format: 'We looked through the whole catalogue and stripped back any suitable tunes to their basic three part vocal harmony and two guitar foundations, until we found the songs that worked best with this arrangement. The lyrics were enhanced by Dorie's vocals and Luke rediscovered the key patterns from his original compositions, and so the songs took on a different feel, more mature perhaps but also rejuvenated by this 'back to the roots' experiment. We added some new songs written especially for acoustic performance, and suddenly the whole set felt very fresh. We liked it so much we decided to share it with a US audience and look forward to seeing you in December.’ Tickets go on sale on Saturday the 4th of October so be sure to get yours in time! Box office information is as follows: 18 Dec 2008 The Mission Theatre, Portland, OR www.mcmenamins.com Tickets available online at Ticketmaster.com Or in person at The Mission Theater Crystal Box Office Ticketmaster outlets Please note: Show is 21 and Over 20 Dec 2008 The Bluebird, Denver, CO www.bluebirdtheater.net Tickets available online at Ticketmaster.com Or in person at The Bluebird Theatre The Ogden Theatre |
