Elle, Oh Elle King

Elle King, blues pop-rocker extraordinaire, is likely headed a town near you. The “Ex’s & Oh’s” songstress will be at festivals for most of the summer, has a number of dates lined up supporting Dixie Chicks, and now she has announced a headline tour to boot.

Her solo shows start Oct. 17 in San Diego, Calif., at the House of Blues. King actually plays at five HOB venues throughout the tour. The last date scheduled is Nov. 22 at the Beacon Theatre in New York. Some other notable stops on that routing include The Fillmore Detroit, Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin, Texas, and The Tabernacle in Atlanta.

Prior to those gigs King will be at a number of summer festivals. She plays Taste of Chicago and Milwaukee’s Summerfest in the Midwest, on back to back dates, July 7 and 8. Her last scheduled festival appearance is at The Big E in West Springfield, Mass., Sept. 24, the only date overlapping with her support run for Dixie Chicks.

While she plays with the Dixie Chicks from Sept. 8 to Oct. 10 she will be taking the stage in full-fledged arenas: Forum in Los Angeles; Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio; Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Ark.; and many others.

If all you’ve heard from King is “Ex’s & Oh’s” her pairing with Dixie Chicks might seem odd, but she is actually a banjo player and her music incorporates blues, rock and folk elements. She is more of a pop singer than anything else though, and her debut album, Love Stuff, was released last year.
