Olivia Chaney, whose Nonesuch Records debut album is due in 2015, will welcome in the new year with a two-week tour of Australia, starting at the Woodford Folk Festival in Brisbane on New Year's Eve and including shows in Melbourne and Perth and two sets as part of the Sydney Festival. See below for the currently scheduled Australian dates and ticket links. For all the latest tour details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and accomplished lyricist and vocalist, Olivia Chaney graduated from the Royal Academy of Music and learnt the guitar from her father's renditions of Bob Dylan, Fairport Convention, and Bert Jansch, among others. Since then she has built a loyal and growing following, both in the UK and internationally, through her acclaimed live performances, as a solo artist and also in collaboration with a diverse range of artists, including Alasdair Roberts, Zero 7, and The Labèque Sisters. In February 2013, she self-released her eponymous debut EP, which has found her further fans with media and public alike. Co-produced with Leo Abrahams, it included the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards nominated-song "Swimming in the Longest River," as well as "The King’s Horses," a track that "confirms Chaney’s arrival as a major talent," according to BBC Music.

Stay tuned for details about Olivia Chaney's Nonesuch Records debut album and its release to come.
