Elle King Tours For Love Stuff
ELLE KING ANNOUNCES TODAY HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
IN SUPPORT OF HER DEBUT ALBUM LOVE STUFF AND CURRENT SINGLE “EX’S & OH’S”
Pop, blues, and rock’n’roll singer Elle King announces today her headlining tour in support of her debut album LOVE STUFF and current single “Ex’s & Oh’s” which is blowing up at radio. Click here to watch Elle’s just-released video for her single “Ex’s & Oh’s.” Find a list of tour dates below.
Elle King has been the opening act for select dates on James Bay’s sold out tour and will also be performing at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Bumbershoot, Hangout Fest, Interstellar Rodeo, and Squamish Valley Music Festival in the coming months. Previously, Elle has toured with Of Monsters and Men, Train, Ed Sheeran, and many others.
Known for her fantastic live set, Elle was singled out by New York Magazine as “one of the 10 female acts that will dominate SXSW,” Entertainment Weekly wrote “Elle King had a hot set and proved she can jump between genres with the greatest of ease…” Yahoo called her a “Badass blues-rock powerhouse,” Entertainment Tonight continued “King’s firecracker personality becomes (even more) larger than life when she hits the stage, where she flips her hair, swigs from her cup and sings each and every song like it’s her last” and The Austin Chronicle declared “…Elle King’s powerful bluesy vocals ripping ribald and defiant.”
Elle has performed her single “Ex’s & Oh’s” on The Today Show, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and VH1 Big Morning Buzz Live in support of the release of her debut album LOVE STUFF which has received overwhelming critical acclaim. Jon Pareles of The New York Times describes Elle King as “a sassy, hard-drinking, love-’em-and-leave-’em hellion with bad tattoos and a broad pedigree across rock, pop and country. She has Adele’s determination and Joan Jett’s stomp, Brenda Lee’s high-voiced bite and some AC/DC shriek.” The Wall Street Journal calls her voice “a powerful instrument that reflects the influence of Aretha Franklin and rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson,” and Teen Vogue declares her “Blond and boisterous…music’s newest hot chick.”
In addition, Elle just released two songs “Catch Us If You Can” and a cover of “American Girl” featured in the film “Hot Pursuit” in theaters now starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara.
