Lydia Cole Tours New EP In June

Lydia Cole will play a series of main centre dates in June to support the release of her debut EP, Love Will Find A Way (distributed by Rhythm Method on 25 May).

The quiet intensity of Lydia’s writing has already earmarked the 21 year-old North Shore native as a standout talent and she earned rave reviews for a number of recent summer festival appearances including Rhythm and Vines, Parachute and the Winery Tour.

Recorded at Neil Finn’s Roundhead studio, her EP is set to lift Lydia’s profile even higher, with lead track “Feels Like” already gathering TV and radio play.

Lydia’s live band for these dates (*North Island only) features EP producer Nic Manders on keyboards, Jol Mulholland of Gasoline Cowboy and the Mots on guitar, Chip Matthews on bass (Anika Moa, opensouls and more) and drummer Nick Gaffaney (Goldenhorse, Cairo Knife Fight etc).

Tickets for the tour go on sale from Thursday 21st May on undertheradar.co.nz.
