JOAN OSBORNE ANNOUNCES FIRST LEG OF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

Joan Osborne kicks off her national tour with two New York City Winery performances March 27 and March 28 that will feature her hits and new songs from her brand new album, Bring It On Home, due March 27 on Saguaro Road Records). The first leg of the tour continues through mid- April and includes markets such as Philadelphia, Charlotte, Nashville & Louisville. Ms. Osborne will hit the road again later in the spring & summer with dates in the Mid-West and on the West Coast.

Bring It On Home is Osborne's first album of hand-picked vintage blues and soul songs, a collection that fans have long been asking for and Osborne herself delighted in making. The recording sessions were electrifying, as the singer/songwriter tapped into her lifelong love of blues and R&B and unleashed her impassioned vocals.

Produced by Joan and her longtime music director/guitarist Jack Petruzzelli, they were joined by Joan's longtime bandmates as well as guests Barbecue Bob Pomeroy (harmonica), Allen Toussaint (piano on his own “Shoorah! Shoorah!"), and vocalists the Holmes Brothers and Rufus Thomas' daughter, Vaneese Thomas. Jimmy Vivino, Conan O'Brien Show Band musical director, assembled all horn arrangements and also played electric piano on “I Don't Need no Doctor."
