Lindsey Buckingham Announces Fourth Leg of U.S. Solo Tour to Begin June 1st

Singer-Songwriter/Guitarist Touring Behind His Critically Acclaimed Solo Album, “Under The Skin”

BURBANK, CA — (MARKET WIRE) — May 10, 2007 — Lindsey Buckingham will embark on the fourth leg of his first U.S. solo tour in nearly 14 years on June 1st, 2007. Buckingham and his three-piece band present an innovative, tightly orchestrated minimalism that captures the spirit of the Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist’s most recent solo album, the intricately crafted, acoustic guitar-driven “Under The Skin,” which was released by Reprise Records on October 3rd.

The summer dates, which conclude June 30th, follow the enthusiastically received autumn, winter, and spring legs of Buckingham’s nationwide trek. The New York Times praised the artist’s appearance at New York’s Town Hall, saying that, “the strength of Buckingham’s songs, his singing and guitar playing, and his strange intensity as a performer carried the evening,” while “his stamina kept the music’s energy fresh and volatile.” The Chicago Tribune calls Buckingham “an enigmatic rock’n'roll icon” whose tour is “worth the wait.” The Austin American Statesman says Buckingham “mesmerizes and gets the crowd moving.”

Critics have equally applauded “Under The Skin,” hailing Buckingham’s first solo album since 1992’s “Out Of The Cradle” as “magnificent” (The Washington Post), “a stellar comeback” (Blender), and “a mesmerizing return to the side of Buckingham that birthed the proto-indie pop strangeness of 1979’s ‘Tusk’” (Rolling Stone).

Buckingham, the acknowledged musical visionary behind Fleetwood Mac, will release another solo album at the beginning of 2008. His recent television appearances include “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” PBS’s “Tavis Smiley,” “Soundstage,” CBS’s “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” and CMT’s “Crossroads,” where he appears with country quartet Little Big Town. A special acoustic performance of “Big Love” from this year’s Sundance Film Festival’s “Where Music Meets Film” will air on the WE network June 4th at 10pm, featuring Buckingham along with other artists.
