Nick Lowe Announces November U.S. Tour Dates Featuring Los Straitjackets

Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets have announced a new string of headlining US dates kicking off November 1, 2023 in Boston, with stops in New York City, Atlanta, Franklin, TN, and more. The three-week run follows a coast-to-coast summer tour supporting Elvis Costello and the Imposters which just wrapped last month.

Reviewing those shows, The Arizona Republic called Lowe the “perfect tourmate,” adding he was “his usual charming self.” The San Diego Union Tribune concluded Lowe’s set was simply “superb.” Before the November run, Lowe will also play select solo shows in the UK and Japan. See below for a full list of newly announced dates; tickets are on sale here.

Just last week, Yep Roc released the 25th Anniversary Edition of Lowe’s acclaimed 1998 album Dig My Mood. Featuring remastered audio, the Anniversary Edition includes a limited LP pressed on blue vinyl with a bonus 10” EP on yellow vinyl.

The bonus EP includes the rare studio track, “I’ll Give You All Night to Stop,” plus four live performances recorded at Club Quattro, Tokyo, Japan over two shows in March 1998, all previously unavailable digitally or on vinyl.

The album and bonus EP are also available now at all DSPs. Featuring now-standards and live favorites such as “You Inspire Me,” and “Man That I’ve Become,” Dig My Mood is the second installment in Lowe’s acclaimed “Brentford Trilogy” (which also includes 1994’s Impossible Bird, and 2001’s The Convincer), a string of releases that came to define his “remarkable second wind” (The New York Times). AllMusic calls the songs on Dig My Mood “quietly ambitious” adding that the album “finds Lowe at his best.”

In addition to their busy 2023 touring schedule, Lowe and Los Straitjackets have been recording new music this year. Stay tuned for more news soon.
