Ninja Tune Records is excited to announce that acclaimed UK artist Fink will be performing dates in the US this coming December. In support of his latest album, Sort Of Revolution, the tour begins on Friday, December 4 at Spaceland in Los Angeles, CA, and will culminate with an intimate performance at New York City’s famed Joe’s Pub on Thursday, December 10. The upcoming US stint is destined to be a display of the singer-songwriter’s stunning live repertoire and will feature new songs as well as favorites from his previous efforts.
Certainly one of the more understated of the world’s singer-songwriters, the Bristol, UK-born Fink, aka Fin Greenall, is an uncompromising artist with an astounding stage presence. With live accompaniment by Guy Whittaker on bass and Tim Thornton on drums, Greenall has played over 300 shows in the last three years (supporting the likes of Zero 7 and Massive Attack). In addition to his performance history, Fink has written with such artists as John Legend and Amy Winehouse, while lending his remixing skills to the works of Elbow, Nina Simone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Robert Belfour.
Now with Sort Of Revolution, an album that Q calls “captivating” and BBC Music declares as being “an idea-laden, sublime study in the art of pleasing yourself without drowning in indulgence,” Fink is sure to expand beyond simply being a music fan’s best kept secret and will have another opportunity to showcase his latest material in the most appropriate of settings.
The dates for this tour are below. More dates to be announced soon.
