SOPHIE B. HAWKINS
WRAPS DATES WITH CHRIS ISAAK
AND JOINS THE CORRS
FOR AUGUST U.S. TREK
Singer, songwriter and musician SOPHIE B. HAWKINS will join The Corrs for 12 U.S. performances as she continues to tour the U.S. in support of her WILDERNESS–a trek that’s already seen her opening shows for Chris Isaak. Beginning August 6 in Woodville, WA, these dates with The Corrs will take SOPHIE across the country and include shows in New York and Los Angeles.
On the tour, SOPHIE will perform hits (the Top 5 “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” from her Grammy-nominated TONGUES AND TAILS and the #1 R&R AC/Adult Top 40 hit “As I Lay Me Down” from WHALER), alongside songs from her critically acclaimed WILDERNESS. In a review of a recent live performance in Mansfield, MA, George Lenker of THE REPUBLICAN noted (July 17, 2004), “When it comes to giving off natural energy, Sophie B. Hawkins has maybe two rivals: Tina Turner–and the sun…Backed with just a keyboardist and drummer, Hawkins and company unleashed a full, rich sound, proving that you don’t need to be Jimi Hendrix to make a three-piece band sound big.”
On WILDERNESS–her first independently recorded, conceived and released album, co-produced with production wizards Christian and Frank Berman (Amber, Baha Men, Real McCoy)-SOPHIE declares her freedom with, paradoxically, the most accessible project of her career.
