Joan Osborne’s ‘Love And Hate’ Adventure

Fans living in eastern states are the winners for the upcoming tour.  Although she will play gigs in Texas, Washington and California, many of Osborne’s engagements are in East Coast states such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Maryland.

Osborne will be touring in support of Love And Hate, due out April 8.  Having written every track on the long player, Osborne says it is her most intimate album yet.

“These songs resonate especially deep for me,” Osborne said.  “I feel like I’ve grown so much as a songwriter, using simpler and simpler language, getting to the heart of the matter in a purer way.”

The platinum-selling/seven-time Grammy nominee launches her tour five days before the album drops.  Here’s the schedule:
