Los Angeles-based trio Fairground Saints are set to join Carly Rae Jepsen's "Gimmie Love" tour supporting her new record E•MO•TION this February and March. See below for a complete list of dates.

Fairground Saints' self-titled debut album-produced by Matthew Wilder (No Doubt/Christina Aguilera)-is out now on Verve Records. In premiering the new record, PopMatters noted "Fairground Saints are on to something very, very good on their debut album" and went on to say "the end result is a quietly beautiful album with enough ambition to try new things."

Band members Mason Van Valin (vocals and guitar), Elijah Edwards (vocals, guitar, mandolin, keyboards, Dobro, accordion) and Megan McAllister (vocals, guitar, dulcimer) met by chance. "We gelled quickly and started making music together right away," says McAllister, "it was almost like we were already family." The trio began getting songs together for their debut album and in 2014 landed a deal with The Verve Music Group/Universal Records to release it.
