LOS ANGELES, CA - August 6, 2012 - Acclaimed singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata,'the
troubadour of heartbreak', today announced an extensive run of U.S.
live dates kicking off on November 15th at Electric Owl in Vancouver, BC
and wrapping up on 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, TN. She begins
with a NYC September residency at the Rockwood Music Hall.
Touring in support of her 2011 independent release Chesapeake
and a new fall EP of darker ballads, expect more intimate shows with
strings and seated venues calling upon her old soul influences like
Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Todd Rundgren and Elton John.
She's
garnered pop and indie status alike having toured with The Swell
Season, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Adams, Sara Bareilles, Liz Phair and Adam
Cohen. Collaborations include songs with Jason Mraz, Mandy Moore, Dan
Wilson and Katherine McPhee as well as appearances on the records of
Bright Eyes, Dave Matthews and Rhett Miller to name a few.
Past
highlights include opening solo for David Gray at Madison Square
Garden, being the guest of Pete Townsend, sharing the stage at Carnegie
Hall with R.E.M. and Patti Smith, performing for the President and
hosting a tweet dialogue at the White House. Recently, she joined Steve
Earle, jazz great Allen Toussaint and The Wood Brothers for a tribute
show to Woody Guthrie.
This
year involved 8 months of worldwide touring and a performance cameo in
the new movie 'Renee' (the true story that launched the movement
TWLOHA). Australia's The Voice winner Karise Eden reached #1 with
Rachael's song 'You Won't Let Me'. Rachael currently has songs placed in
the film 'Hope Springs' as well as the show 'Pretty Little Liars'.
Appearances on 30 Rock, Carson Daly, The O.C., One Life To Live, Jay
Leno and Conan O'Brien and placements in 'Grey's Anatomy', 'Brothers and
Sisters', 'The L Word', 'How I Met Your Mother', 'Prime', 'Bella',

Hilton have supported her, famed photographer Jungman Kim calls her 'his
muse' and writer/journalist/ broadcaster Katherine Lanpher cites her as
