Emerging British Artist Jade Bird Adds Summer Dates With First Aid Kit

Emerging British artist Jade Bird has added new U.S. dates supporting First Aid Kit, kicking off June 8 in Raleigh, NC. Jade will also tour with Colter Wallthis spring and has confirmed stops at SXSW, Stagecoach Country Music Festival, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Mountain Jam this summer. See below for details.

Jade's latest single, "Lottery," continues to receive widespread critical praise-Entertainment Weekly highlighted the song in their "Must List" while NPR Music included it in their "Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing." Watch the Kate Moross-directed (Jessie Ware, Sam Smith, Banks) "Lottery" follows the 2017 release of her debut EPSomething American.

More recently, Jade spoke with Noiseyabout how her music is inspired by the strong women of her past. She also debuted a cover of Dua Lipa's "New Rules." Watch/share here: https://youtu.be/aVgg8Rdk3LM.

Born in Hexham, U.K., Jade's early life was spent mainly in flight as an "army brat," with time spent in South Wales, Germany and Chesterfield. One of life's few constants proved to be the influence of strong working women. At first via her mother and grandmother, who largely raised her, but later the female role models within the musical subcultures Jade become obsessed with: from empowering country heroines like Loretta Lynn to iconic alternative songwriters like Patti Smith, and following a thread through folk and Americana to incorporating such confessional, undiluted songwriting into pop music (Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill was a similarly early touchstone).
