Ida Mae announce UK/Ireland tour

The duo released their debut album 'Chasing Lights' last year, which has been nominated for Americana Music UK's Album of the Year award.

Ida Mae have announced a UK and Ireland tour, which will include a Dublin date at The Workman's Club on May 2.

2019 was a hugely successful year for the duo. As well as releasing their debut album Chasing Lights in June, Ida Mae played 80 US shows and 35 UK/EU shows supporting the likes of Josh Ritter, Greta Van Fleet, Alison Krauss, Nikki Lane and Willie Nelson. Their success on the road made it possible to go on a headline tour less than six months after the release of Chasing Lights.

The album has been nominated for Album of the Year at the Americana Music Awards, where they will also perform later this week. Chasing Lights also reached No. 8 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Album sales.

While on the road, Ida Mae also recorded a live EP Live in Memphis, out now.

Tickets for the Workman's gig are €13.50 and go on sale Friday, January 31 at 10am via Ticketmaster.

The tour begins on April 21 with a date in Bristol. Full dates are available here.
