Kathleen Edwards plans major U.S. tour

Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards will release her new album Asking for Flowers March 4 on Zoe Records, and set out on a 21-date U.S. tour shortly after.

Edwards burst onto the folk rock scene back in 2003 with her brooding debut album Failer, and won rave reviews for her 2005 follow-up Back To Me. Since her first album was released, she has performed with the likes of Aimee Mann, Willie Nelson and My Morning Jacket, and has seen her music showcased on television’s Austin City Limits and in Cameron Crowe’s 2005 film Elizabethtown.

Edwards’ upcoming tour, her first in more than two years, will begin March 27 in Portland, Maine. Confirmed dates are listed below, with more on the way:
