JENS LEKMAN Announces short and luxurious summer
tour in America with Frida Hyvönen , working on
new record.
Jens Lekman loves America and lucky for America,
Jens loves to tour. Since the beginning of this
year, Lekman has not been able to stand still,
touring such exotic locales as New Zealand,
Australia and Japan as well as a small European
tour. Now, Jens plans to come back to the States
with a 6-piece all girl band complete with horn
section. The tour will conclude in front of
thousands of screaming fans at the Pitchfork
Festival in Chicago. Jens will be playing some
new songs in what will hopefully be a sort of
sneak peak at his new record. However, Jens'
live shows have always strayed from his recorded
material so expect the unexpected.
Accompanying Jens will be Swedish sensation,
FRIDA HYVÖNEN. Though she's a household name in
Sweden, Frida is virtually unknown in North
America...but this tour will change that.
Jens has also been in the process of creating his
new record for Secretly Canadian. He promises
that it will be a pop record. Secretly Canadian
promises that it will be released in early 2007.
