Lissie Announces US Tour Dates; Shares Video For Don't You Give Up On Me

LISSIE ANNOUNCES US TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF FORTHCOMING ALBUM RELEASE 'MY WILD WEST;' PRESENTS MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON ME'   Gearing up to release her most personal album to date, My Wild West, Lissie is also excited to announce an accompanying US tour, which will kick off this Spring!  The forthcoming release is her third studio album, to be released through her own label, Lionboy Records and Thirty Tigers, which will be available on February 12, 2016.  The video for the first single, 'Don't You Give Up On Me' premiered last Friday via Marie Claire, and the tour de force on-screen performance shows Lissie in her element, at her new home in Iowa, miles away from her 'wild west' in California.  Of the upcoming album, Marie Claire raves, "Her new album My Wild West is primed to be a ray of light amidst the doldrums of winter."   'My Wild West' chronicles a 12-year chapter of Lissie's life spent in California and hints on her desire of a new adventure. The new adventure being her relocation from California to her newly purchased 10-acre farm in Iowa, where the video for 'Don't You Give Up On Me' was filmed. Lissie explains: "I loved the idea of filming this video on my land and we really lucked out when we hit record and the snow started falling. The fields and trees in white were breathtaking! Sitting in the back of my dodge ram pickup and singing as we passed these open glistening spaces was really special. It's all a bit of a dream and I'm happy to have broken the farm in with a video for a song that means a lot to me as I head into my next chapter.   Watch the video for 'Don't You Give Up On Me' here   Lissie says of her decision to uproot herself from the West Coast, "California and the West Coast weren't problematic and I certainly didn't struggle. Like any life phase, they had their ups & downs, beautiful and challenging moments. Rather, I felt empowered that I could leave and get out, take off, demand a new adventure from life! The song is a plea to God or to a person or to whomever to hang in there with me while I figure it out!  There's a line in the song 'I left you on the coast for something only I can see' and that's just it. I have a personal vision and it may be hard for others to understand at times but I have to follow it!"  An undeniably relatable sentiment shared by all fueled by possibilities and in hot pursuit of adventure.   Catch Lissie live at the following dates:   Saturday, January 23rd @ 4:40 PM ASCAP Music Café, Sundance Sunday, January 24th @ 3:15 PM Sundance/KCRW show Saturday, March 12th @ Snowshoe Mountain Thursday, March 17th @ SXSW Friday, March 18th @ SXSW Tuesday, March 29th @ El Rey, Los Angeles, CA Wednesday, March 30th @ Slim's, San Francisco, CA Friday, April 1st @ Star, Portland, OR Saturday, April 2nd @ Columbia Theatre, Seattle, WA Monday, April 4th @ Urban Lounge, Salt Lake City, UT Tuesday, April 5th @ Bluebird, Denver, CO Thursday, April 7th @ Trees, Dallas, TX Friday, April 8th @ Emo's, Austin, TX Saturday, April 9th @ Numbers, Houston, TX Monday, April 11th @ Terminal West, Atlanta, GA Tuesday, April 12th @ 3rd & Lindsley, Nashville, TN Thursday, April 14th @ 9:30 Club, Washington DC Friday, April 15th @ Johnny Brenda's, Philadelphia, PA Saturday, April 16th @ The Royale, Boston, MA Monday, April 18th @ Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY Tuesday, April 19th @ Music Hall Of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY Thursday, April 21st @ Mr. Smalls, Pittsburgh, PA Friday, April 22nd @ Thalia Hall, Chicago, IL Saturday, April 23rd @ Varsity, Minneapolis, MN
