Mat Kearney Announces Fall 2019 Tour, The City of Black & White (Revisited) Acoustic Tour

On the heels of announcing the June 28th release of theCity of Black & White Revisited EP, Mat Kearney announces The City of Black & White (Revisited) Acoustic Tour - that has the platinum-selling singer, songwriter and producer visiting a number of intimate venues in the US, UK and EU. The new EP commemorates the 10-year anniversary of Kearney's second studio album and one of his fans' favorite releases, 2009's City of Black & White LP and the tour will give Kearney a chance to strip it all back and bring to life some of the songs he's built his career on while showcasing some new ones.

When asked about the EP, Kearney recounted the pressure he was under when he wrote the album more than 10 years ago and talked about the idea to revisit these songs with a new perspective. He started to rework the City of Black & White album tracks that have become staples in his live shows including the title track, "All I Have," "Fire & Rain," "New York to California," and GOLD single "Closer to Love" and recorded the collection with the help of musician JT Roach, who shares production credits. Through the experience, Kearney said, "the songs took on a life of their own and gave me a new love from some of the them that I've been singing for a while now." He also felt that they had stumbled across what he affectionally calls a "Lo-Fi Nashville sound."

The City of Black & White LP was originally released in May 2009 via Aware/Columbia and has streamed more than 53 MILLION times in the US alone. It's one of five studio albums he's released over his career that has Kearney boasting 1.67 BILLION Global Streams. He's toured extensively throughout and is looking forward to bringing fans a very special run of dates this fall that will put him in some of the most intimate spaces he's played in years. Always a story teller, the stripped-down sets will give fans a chance to hear some of their most beloved Mat Kearney songs, while getting a sneak peek into what he's been working on since last year's CRAZYTALK LP.
