Van Morrison Album Competition
Van Morrison releasing new album 'Keep It Simple''
He is to play first ever show at South by Southwest to preview new album.
KEEP IT SIMPLE NEW RELEASE DATE APRIL 1
For the first time ever, the legendary Van Morrison will perform at the South By Southwest Music Conference in Austin, TX, kicking off the event on March 12 at the La Zona Rosa. This special show is sure to be a highlight of the music industry’s annual enclave as Morrison previews songs from his upcoming Lost Highway release Keep It Simple (out April 1). Keep It Simple is Morrison’s first album of new material in two years.
Morrison’s tour begins the prior evening on Tuesday, March 11, with a public performance at the Austin Music Hall. Morrison returns to the Live Music Capital after an extraordinary performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival followed by the taping of his first appearance on the legendary Austin City Limits television show in 2005.
Following Austin, Morrison returns to Nashville, TN with a sold out show at the historic Ryman Auditorium on Thursday March 13. On Friday March 14, Ireland’s favorite son kicks off the St. Patrick’s Day weekend with a performance at the Wang Theatre in Boston, MA. Morrison will wrap up the tour in New York City at the United Palace on March 15.
Keep It Simple features Van Morrison at his finest. His music has always incorporated the widely varied influences he heard and absorbed since his childhood days on the streets of Belfast. Here Morrison honors all those varied influences - jazz, folk, blues, Celtic, country, soul and gospel (even making uniquely innovative use of the ukulele) - at times melding them all together at once in his own signature sound. Keep It Simple proves that Van Morrison is still making the best music of what is already an unparalleled career.
