15 days. 2,438 Miles. 8 States/Provinces. And, we’re only half-way there! The ‘Pretty Lies’ Album Release Tour is off to a kickin’ start. Many thanks to all the fans I’ve seen across the western half of North America. You guys are awesome. A special shout out to the Pikes in Oregon, Liz and Anastasia in Spokane, and Mel and Sheila in West Des Moines who hosted house concerts during the first half of the tour. You all are extra super awesome. I know it takes a lot of work to pull off a great party, and I was glad to be a part of it.

Don’t live West of the Missouri River? Have no fear, I’m coming your way soon. Check below for the Lap 2 line up. (I like to pretend tour is like NASCAR. Which reminds me, if you hear of any speed traps in your area, don’t forget to warn your favorite touring musician!)

(Available in either creme or asphalt, because choices are cool.) These are ONLY available at live performances.

Last, but not least, the Tour Finale and Album Release Party at the Temple Theatre in Des Moines, IA is on June 1st! There are still some seats available, but only a handful of those are VIP. So if you like to sit up front, you best get while the gettin’s good. Head on over to ticketmaster.com or the Civic Center Box Office. We had a run on seats over the weekend, so don’t wait. You might miss out.

Cheers

My new solo acoustic album ‘Pretty Lies’ drops today! It’s out! It’s here! What are you waiting for? Go to roxicopland.com/merch & order your copy! And if you’re an Itunes fanatic, you can pick it up there too.

Not yet sold? Check out the latest reviews from the Examiner, the Dish on Des Moines, and JP’s Music Blog. Many thanks for the kind words, all!

Of course, in honor of the new album, I’m taking off on my long promised repatriation tour where I travel the continent bringing you new music while working my way to my new home in Milwaukee, WI. Here are the public performances during the first half of the ‘Pretty Lies’ Tour line-up:

Check out the full line-up at roxicopland.com/shows! Find the city nearest you, and come on down! If you do, you can get your very own copy of the new album. (Ask nicely, and I’ll even sign it. True story.) And that’s not all! Check out this rockin’ limited edition ‘Pretty Lies’ Tour Tee (below). Great, huh? They’re only available at Pretty Lies Tour shows (in both crème & asphalt).

See you all soon!

Cheers,

Happy Spring, all!

We are oh-so-close to the official release date of Pretty Lies…(26 days, to be exact)!  For all of you who placed a pre-order: those are being mailed out early next week, and you should receive them by next weekend.  I’m really excited to hear what you think of the new album (and the new tees, and the new posters…)

Those who didn’t get your order in on time, fear not!  You can order the album once it’s released on May 1st.  It’ll be available on my website, as well as at all the major online retailers (Itunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Spotify, etc).

PRETTY LIES TOUR!
As of today, there are 13 cities on the tour roster. New additions to the lineup include Minneapolis, Chicago, Birmingham, AL, Jackson, MS, St. Louis, & Des Moines, IA. For details on these & the other tour dates head to roxicopland.com/shows.

WANNA HAVE A CONCERT IN YOUR LIVING ROOM?
Speaking of tour, I have a couple open dates I’m looking to fill. If you live in Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee or Missouri and you like the idea of a little intimate living room concert with you & you buddies, just shoot me an email back and I’ll get you more info. Emailing me doesn’t commit you in any way to hosting a show, it just means you’d like a little info about the possibility.

Q&A WITH BAND BOMBSHELL
Erika Owen of DSM Band Bombshell was kind enough to do a little interview with yours truly about the upcoming release of Pretty Lies & the accompanying month-long release tour – you can find it here.

PRETTY LIES ALBUM RELEASE PARTY TICKETS ON SALE SOON!
We’re having a release party/performance for Pretty Lies at the Temple Theater in Des Moines, IA on Friday, June 1st. You’re invited, obviously. And as a member of my fanlist, you get first crack at the tickets! You can purchase them via Ticketmaster with the code ‘PRETTY’ starting at 9am on Monday, April 23rd. That means you have 48 hours to get the best seats before they go on sale to the public on Wednesday, April 25th.  Pretty cool, eh?

Last but not least – I admittedly took a couple days off last weekend to enjoy a bit of skiing with pals at Whistler.  It was awesome, and it almost made me sad that winter’s coming to an end.

Almost. Because Summer means the release of Pretty Lies & hitting the road to bring it to you!

See you soon,

-Roxi
