Rising Country Star Lillie Mae Announces Headline Tour Dates
By: Macon Prickett Apr. 02, 2018
Lillie Mae is excited to announce a run of headline tour dates for this May and June. The run includes appearances at Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta, GA, Boston Calling Festival in Boston, MA and Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati, OH. Before the headline dates begin, Lillie Mae will hit the road with Tyler Childers for the third annual Stagecoach Spotlight Tour, held in conjunction with the Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, CA. The full run of tour dates can be found below.
Last year's Forever And Then Some received a great deal of advance praise leading up to its release. Rolling Stone praised "Over The Hill And Through The Woods" for "melding unique old-time vocal breaks, a rich sonic chug that evokes some Seventies rock psychedelia and evocative storytelling;" Stereogum lauded "Honky Tonks And Taverns" as "an expertly polished, delightfully upbeat track;" and Elle noted that the album is "filled with songs that showcase her songwriting talent, blending pop heartbreak with country joy -- kind of like if Robyn spent some quality time with Willie Nelson." Lillie Mae also recently performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Lillie Mae was also included in NPR's esteemed "Austin 100" in advance of SXSW 2017, and was named one of "10 Country Artists You Need To Know" by Rolling Stone. Entertainment Weekly included Lillie Mae in their "Breaking Big" column, praising "Over The Hill and Through The Woods" as "a stomping lament for a restless heart." People Magazine did the same in their "People's Pick" column, noting that "Mae's warm, self-assured vocal twang is rivaled by her vivid storytelling."
