As we have previously reported, earlier this year Sonya Kitchell entered the studio with The Slip’s Andrew and Brad Barr. Moreover, Kitchell recently gigged with the Barrs’ bandmate, bassist Marc Friedman. These relationships will continue to flourish in the fall, as the quartet crosses the U.S. for five weeks of dates, beginning on September 24 at Burlington, VT’s Higher Ground. Kitchell, who has been touring with Herbie Hancock this summer on vocals, will be backed by The Slip for 31 shows, extending through November 2 in Nashville. Kitchell, Friedman and the Barrs will be touring in support of This Storm, which Decca/Velour will issue on September 2.
