n its second year, the “an Acoustic Café evening” tour features the diverse talent of two critically acclaimed female singer-songwriters: Northampton lit/pop darling and multi-instrumentalist Erin McKeown and Austin-based multi-instrumentalist Carrie Rodriguez.

"We're thrilled to have Carrie and Erin returning to the Acoustic Café Evening Tour,” said Rob Reinhart, producer and host of the syndicated radio program Acoustic Café. These artists represent precisely what Acoustic Café is all about!"

Erin McKeown spent 2010 touring in support of her latest release Hundreds of Lions, her first album of original songs since 2005's We Will Become Like Birds. The year also marked a decade since the release of her critically acclaimed debut Distillation on Signature Sounds. In September, Erin embarked on the “Distillation 10th Anniversary Tour.” A constant on the road, she regularly holds down a rigorous tour schedule of 200 shows a year.

Following her appearance on the “Acoustic Café Evening” tour in 2010, Carrie Rodriguez released the “beautifully conceived, passionately performed" (– All Music Guide) Love & Circumstance and spent the year touring - primarily as a headliner and opening dates on the “Acoustic Brotherhood Tour” with Los Lonely Boys and Alejandro Escovedo as well as John Prine. On February 1st, she will release We Still Love Our Country, an album of duets with Ben Kyle of Romantica featuring covers of classic Americana songwriters alongside a few originals.
