New York – Courtney Barnett continues to set the music world alight with her debut album Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit which is out now on Mom+Pop Music, and there are no signs of her slowing down anytime soon. Announced today, Barnett and her band will open for UK icons Blur, playing Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl. Details, including her own headline San Francisco date, are listed below.
Barnett recently stopped by The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon where she absolutely slayed with her performance of “Pedestrian at Best,” she also turned heads with her Conan performance earlier that month, this time playing another album favorite “Dead Fox.”
Courtney Barnett also stopped by the NPR studios during her recent tour and sat down with Bob Boilen for a special Guest DJ set. Boilen included the LP as one of his favorite albums of 2015 going as far to say “Barring some bolt of musical lightning before year’s end, this debut album from Courtney Barnett will be my number one record of the year.”
