Israel Nash Tour Expands

ISRAEL NASH ADDS TOUR DATES IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY

RAIN PLANS RELEASED TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM

MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO “THE CURRENT” AND LAST.FM SESSIONS AIR

After nearly a year of extensive touring, both stateside and abroad, Israel Nash has confirmed new dates in January in addition to a west coast run in February. Of his live set at Americana Music Association Festival, NPR’s Ann Powers notes, “Israel Nash filled the High Watt with waves that landed somewhere between psychedelia and grunge.” Watch Nash performing live for Minnesota Public Radio “The Current” here and Last.FM here, and see below for full tour routing.

Nash continues to celebrate the release of his latest album Rain Plans, which debuted to widespread critical praise:

“Widescreen Americana at its finest.”—NPR

“Urgent, loud folk.”—Boston Globe

“There is an easy-rolling, outdoorsy, relaxed feel to the songs here
—an airy wide-openness…”—Relix

“The album is filled with lush, psychedelic soundscapes to compliment Nash’s reflective songwriting.”—Mashable

“…moody new album Rain Plans falls in the lush, hazy territory between ’70s-heyday Neil Young and Fleet Foxes.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Americana at its purest…”—The Onion AV Club

“Nash paints a sonic picture using bright strokes of grunge,
‘60s folk-pop and crying pedal steel.”—CMT

“A glorious neo-psychedelic masterpiece.”—KEXP

Furthermore, the album’s title track and single was recently featured on NPR’s “Heavy Rotation—10 Songs Public Radio Can’t Stop Playing” (http://n.pr/1AXBpgI) and Nash was chosen as a NPR “World Café Next” artist (http://n.pr/1rI7fMe).

Rain Plans was produced by Nash, recorded and mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Ted Young (Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile) and inspired by Nash’s new home of Dripping Springs, TX which helped evolve the tone of his songwriting.

As a native of Missouri, Nash grew up in the heartland of America. Ever restless, Nash relocated to New York City. In 2011 he released Barn Doors and Concrete Floors, which was recorded live in an old barn in upstate New York. Extensive touring in Europe helped Nash gain greater exposure overseas and the Euro Americana Charts chose Barn Doors and Concrete Floors as the top album of 2011.
