14 July 2014

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Jon Allen has announced that he will be touring the UK in October and November 2014 in support of his widely acclaimed new album, "Deep River".

It's the first time Jon Allen has toured his trademark mix of catchy tunes and folk and Sixties-inflected country blues in the UK since 2013, and follows his new album's launch gig at The Half Moon in Putney earlier this summer.

Jon said: "I'm really looking forward to getting back on the road and playing out my new material. It's great to be able to draw on a larger body of work. The arrival of the new album has made it harder to write a set list because I think there are a lot of strong songs on the record vying to be included. I guess that's a good problem to have. There are some tracks on 'Deep River' that I think are among my best work. I hope the fans enjoy them as much as I do."

Released on 7th July on Monologue Records, "Deep River" is the third album of Allen's career, following his 2009 debut album "Dead Man's Suit" and 2011's "Sweet Defeat".
