Rachel Yamagata announces new North American tour dates

Written by Kathy Garin.

American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata began her early journey as a musician with the Chicago based group Bumpus. As she pursued a solo career, Yamagata's musical talent continued to blossom with songs appearing in multiple television shows including How I Met Your Mother, Nip Tuck, ER, and Dear John. This last year, she sold out twelve dates on her fall tour and featured collaborations with other musicians such as Jason Mraz and Ray Lamontagne. Today, Yamagata continues to capture the hearts of North American audiences, spreading her soulful vibes and thick through her musical expressions.

Spreading her blues-y vocals and musicality well into the new year, Yamagata announces her 2012 North American Tour dates in honor of her third album Chesapeake, which has received raving reviews. Her tour will begin on February 6 in Lennoxville, QC and end in Uncasville, CT on March 30.
