Jaymay finally tours the U.S.

Fresh off some time at South by Southwest, acclaimed singer-songwriter Jaymay is returning to the land of her birth to give U.S. fans a chance to enjoy her without scowling at our cousins across the pond for monopolizing so much of her time.

The Blue Note recording artist released her first LP, Autumn Fallin’, in November, and has toured Europe almost exclusively. She will support Jens Lekman in the UK and will trek with Fink in the U.S. Until she hits these shores, here’s a video of her in London.
