RYAN ADAMS & THE CARDINALS ANNOUNCE WEST COAST DATES

NEW EP FOLLOW THE LIGHTS IN STORES NOW

Continuing an apparently endless run of some of the best-reviewed performances of his career, Ryan Adams and his Cardinals have confirmed their first dates of January '08.

The west coast tour extends what has already been an immensely productive year. In addition to the unanimously acclaimed new album Easy Tiger (lauded by Time as "a career breakthrough") Ryan & The Cards recently released an EP entitled Follow The Lights, comprised of "reflective and sober renditions of a handful of Mr. Adams' near-classics" (The New York Times). The two new songs on Follow The Lights (the title track and "My Love For You Is Real") will be featured prominently in the ABC primetime drama "October Road", which premiered Thanksgiving night. Finally, the band's live shows continue to thrill audience and critics alike; The Washington Post recently noted that "[Ryan's] perfectionism was apparent from the stunning arrangements and interplay with The Cardinals... the group sounded rehearsed and precise without sounding at all formulaic."

The itinerary for the January tour is below. All shows go on sale the weekend of Nov 30, except San Diego, which is on sale now.
