Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter/guitarist ANDERS OSBORNE has announced details about his forthcoming 12th record, Spacedust & Ocean Views. Set for release on Back On Dumaine Records Friday, March 18, the record is a hauntingly plaintive album of redemption and recovery, an honest musical document from the roots rock veteran.
The album's first single, "Lafayette," was inspired by the longtime New Orleans resident's love of Louisiana and was revealed exclusively via American Songwriter magazine. Listen here. . "The inspiration for 'Lafayette' came while driving home from Dockside Studios and missing it right away," Osborne says. "The Vermilion River, my friends, the food, the music, all of it. Always hard to leave that place." He kicked off an extensive tour February 11, and is currently on a short break before starting up again March 24 in Baton Rouge. The tour hits Los Angeles Thursday, March 31 at the Troubadour. Anders Osborne is a map of intensely felt, passionately engaged living, a fractured but healing topography of heartbreak and hope for fellow travelers to explore. He's traveled the world, playing guitar along the way and eventually landing in New Orleans, where he started writing and recording, releasing his first album in 1989.Sat 3/19 | Larose, LA | TBois Blues Festival |
