Lilly Hiatt will release her latest album ‘Walking Proof’ via New West Records on March 27, which follows her 2017 album ‘Trinity Lane’. The 11-song album will feature some high profile collaborations, with Amanda Shires, Luke Schneider and Lilly’s father John all appearing in some capacity – this record marking the first time that Hiatt’s father has joined her on a song. Speaking about the record, Hiatt explained that the bulk of it came from when she was heavily touring and realising that she needed a break, which she duly did and then out came all of these songs when she was recharged. “When you’re out there on the road, you’re just kind of living, and you don’t have the chance to stop and think about how everything you’re experiencing is affecting you,” Hiatt said. “When I got home, I realised there was a lot I needed to catch up on. When I got that little gap in my schedule, it gave me the chance to appreciate some mental stillness. “I can be a pretty anxious person, but I found a sense of peace by deconstructing all of these interactions and emotions I’d experienced and reconfiguring them into songs. It helped me make sense of everything and learn to relax.” The track listing for ‘Walking Proof’ by Lilly Hiatt is: 1. Rae 2. P-Town 3. Little Believer 4. Some Kind of Drug 5. Candy Lurch 6. Walking Proof 7. Drawl 8. Brightest Star 9. Never Play Guitar 10. Move 11. Scream

Kelsey Waldon will be touring in the UK for the first time ever in February, with support slots booked in for Ian Noe and Sean McConnell. The talented artist, who specialises in neo-traditional and Americana, has also got a headline date in London pencilled in, but the bulk of her tour will be supporting McConnell on his coinciding jaunt across the UK. Waldon’s last record, ‘White Noise, White Lines’ was released in October to much fanfare, with Uncut Magazine in particular taking a shine to it – awarding it their Americana Album of the Month. The album followed in the footsteps of 2016’s ‘I’ve Got a Way’ and 2014’s ‘The Goldmine’. The Kentucky born artist was also offered the chance to open for John Print in 2018 and subsequently became the first signing to Prine’s fabled independent label Oh Boy Records in 15 years, while since she moved to Nashville, she has also gained a college degree .
