KT TUNSTALL

I’ll never forget seeing KT Tunstall over at the now-defunct Epic in Minneapolis in November 2010. KT actually paused the show so she can ask the girl in front to stop talking on her cellphone.



The other cool thing about that show was that former Ash Charlotte Hatherley was KT’s guitarist! That was unexpected, and very cool.



Anyway, KT is back on tour in the US with her new album Kin (Caroline Records).



Opening the show will be Detroit’s Mayaeni. The soulfully electric singer, was handpicked and signed by Jay Z to Roc Nation.
