SHANE LAMB EMBARKS ON SOLO ACOUSTIC TOUR BEGINNING
JULY 2
Singer/songwriter
playing 11 shows in support of debut album,
Disengage
Nashville, TN—Nashville
singer/songwriter
Shane Lamb endured a period of loss and
disillusionment, and came out on the other end with his debut album, the
critically acclaimed Disengage. Now Lamb, who cites Tom Petty,
Neil Young and Bob Dylan as some of the influences on Disengage,
hits the road for a solo acoustic tour beginning July 2.
"Disengage was a huge shift in my life on all levels," Lamb
recalls. "Every aspect of my life was up for grabs, which is extremely
exciting and frightening all at once." The singer says those tough times
led to one of the most creative and focused periods of his career.
"There was a lot on here that was very difficult to write and also very
liberating. It is really honest, and wide open and exposed."
The critics agree. "It’s hard not to be encouraged by Lamb’s utter
determination to make lemonade out of his crate full of lemons," writes
Dan MacIntosh of ReviewYou.com. "Such perseverance turns Disengage
into a truly engaging effort." Adds Michael Morgan, "Disengage
embodies the kind of rock that embraces all of the things great about
American folk rock music: love, freedom and the hunger for something
else."
Lamb's summer tour kicks off at the Hallenbrick Brewery in Albuquerque,
NM, on July 2 before making subsequent stops at various locales in
California and Nevada through August 5 (see full schedule below). "I am
really excited about the tour," says Lamb, who has played with the likes
of Lee Roy Parnell, Trisha Yearwood, Delbert McClinton, Lynnyrd Skynyrd
and the Yardbirds. "I love the chance to meet and play music for the
people that have been excited about the record. Plus, I will get to
share a bunch of new songs I am currently recording."
Lamb is particularly eager to hit the road in light of his recent
struggles. "Doing a solo acoustic tour is a new venture and something
that is very appealing to me right now," he says. "Feels like more
freedom and the chance to be light on my feet."
