Jerry Leger, the acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter, is returning to the UK with his band The Situation for a headline tour in May.
This will be the first chance fans have to hear Leger’s new album ‘Donlands’ live. The run begins on 15th May at Union Music Store in Lewes before taking in dates across the UK.
The UK shows are part of a European tour which also takes in The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
On his new album ‘Donlands’, which is released once again on the Cowboy Junkies’ Latent record label, Leger took a different approach, teaming up with legendary Canadian producer/engineer Mark Howard (Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Neil Young), whose trademark atmospheric sound adds an entirely new dimension to Leger’s approach. Named after the street in Toronto’s east end where it was recorded, in what once was the Donlands Theatre, ‘Donlands’ presents Jerry Leger as he’s never been heard before.
The full dates for the tour are:
May 15 – Union Music Store, Lewes, UK
May 16 – Railway Inn, Winchester
May 17 – Wood Festival, Oxford
