Joan Armatrading’s Last World Tour
One of the classiest singer/songwriters ever to put words to melodies, Armatrading has more than 20 albums to her credit along with three Grammy noms and one Brit Award nomination. In 1996 the West Indies-born artist received an Ivor Novello Award for outstanding contemporary song collection. And now the incomparable Armatrading is plotting her final world adventure.
With a newly announced Australian leg added to the journey, Armatrading will be on the road at least through late-March. So far, no North American dates have been announced.
