Gil Landry To Tour Behind Self-Titled

GILL LANDRY CONFIRMS SELECT TOUR DATES WITH HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF IN ADDITION TO JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE RUN

OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW COLLABORATOR EMBARKS ON SOLO ENDEAVOR

SELF-TITLED ALBUM DUE MARCH 3 VIA ATO RECORDS

“Pitches its tent in the four-way intersection between Dylan-inspired folk-rock, atmospheric Americana, dusty cowboy songs and street busker ballads.”—Rolling Stone Country

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Gill Landry has confirmed select tour dates with Hurray for the Riff Raff this April, in addition to his upcoming run with Justin Townes Earle and an appearance at this year’s SXSW. Landry will be performing songs from his new self-titled album, due March 3 on ATO Records.

Landry’s illustrious career as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriting member of the Grammy-Award winning band Old Crow Medicine Show includes a recent induction into the Grand Ole Opry, performances on “A Prairie Home Companion” & “Austin City Limits,” and world tours with featured stops at major festivals including Bonnaroo, Coachella and the Newport Folk Festival.

The 10-track album was fully produced and mostly engineered by Landry and recorded in what he calls, “a ramshackle, shanty-ass apartment on the south side of Nashville.” Contributors include various friends and musicians Landry gathered on his nonstop travels alone and with Old Crow including songstress Laura Marling who duets on “Take This Body,” singer-songwriter and guitarist Robert Ellis, trumpeter Nick Etwell of Mumford & Sons and Odessa Jorgensen who lends harmonies and fiddle to a number of tunes. The lead single can be streamed/shared here: https://soundcloud.com/ato_records/just-like-by-gill-landry. See below for track listing.

Of his inspiration behind the album, Landry explains, “These songs are my attempt at transcending the more classic type of broken-hearted love song I’d been writing for years where there was an obvious victim. I tried to not come at it from the point of how things could have/should have been or should be, but searching for a sweet, understanding surrender to what is or was, and moving forward with compassion and kindness without harsh judgment to the reasons for this crime or that misstep.”
