Nicole Atkins announces East Coast Tour including shows in NJ and Philly

After opening several shows for Stevie Nicks and The Mavericks over the past year, Nicole Atkins has just announced a brief East Coast run of shows with her band for this fall. Tickets are on sale now. Justin & the Cosmics will serve as support for the entire run. Dates include September 6th at Outpost in the Burbs (Montclair, NJ), September 11th at 118 North (Philadelphia, PA), and September 12th at the Wonder Bar (Asbury Park, NJ).

Atkins has had an eventful 2024 already with several support slots opening for both Stevie Nicks and also her friends The Mavericks (whose new album she is featured on). She’s currently hard at work on what will be her sixth studio album. Her previous studio release Italian Ice (2020) was her best reviewed to date drawing rave reviews on both sides of the pond.

“My album Italian Ice came out during lockdown from the pandemic and while the world was slowly getting back to normal (or trying to) I was lucky enough to share stages with musicians I’ve always looked up to like Elvis Costello, Stevie Nicks, Spoon, and the Mavericks,” Atkins remarked.  “I learned so much from them and was having such a good time I didn’t realize that four years had passed. The sayings are true!

"Now with a bunch of new songs and a great band and some time before the studio, I can’t wait to figure out what these new songs want to be at the shows! I’ve always wanted to do it that way like I did it before my first record, but now it actually feels like time is on my side and I have some to make it happen.”

Atkins was born and raised in the Neptune, New Jersey area. She currently lives in Nashville, TN.

"Atkins alternated between rocking R&B and her album’s other predominant style, a lush hybrid of Roy Orbison’s lovelorn drama, Dusty Springfield’s cool soul, and Charlie Rich’s late-night balladry. It takes impressive skill to draw so earnestly from such old-fashioned sounds without fetishizing them, but Atkins has the heart, humor, and craft to pull it off." – Austin Chronicle

"Nicole Atkins is one of those people who is so inventive in everything she does." – NPR Music
