Not one, not two, but three Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists are teaming up for an all-star summer tour. And all three artists are greats I've seen and reviewed multiple times.

The tour is scheduled to include stops here in Southern California, as well as Chicago, San Francisco, Nashville and Dallas. The tour won't be done and dusted until Sept. 23 with a final date in West Palm Beach, Florida.

| Laurel Sprengelmeyer is Little Scream |
Montreal based multi-instrumentalist, writer, and visual artist Laurel Sprengelmeyer aka Little Scream is more than pleased to announce her signing with Merge Records and Dine Alone Records (Canada-only) for a new LP to be released later this year. “Merge is a cultural monolith in my world, and I’m amped and honored to be working with them,” said Sprengelmeyer when asked about signing to Merge. “The record I just made is a crazy beast, and I can’t think of a better home for it.”
Little Scream's debut album, The Golden Record, received a glowing 8.1 on Pitchfork, which considered it "a stellar debut...[and] a perfectly mixed bag of graceful folk, coiled pop, and expansive art rock". NPR dubbed it "an absolutely captivating record", including it on their Best Albums of 2011 list, and the New York Times evoked its "hints of the divine", naming her one of the best new acts to follow at SXSW.
Little Scream toured extensively with The Golden Record, playing numerous opening and headlining performances in North America and Europe, including a tour with Sufjan Stevens as well as dates with Jose Gonzalez, Beirut, and Sharon Van Etten.
More details on Little Scream’s sophomore album will be announced shortly. Until then she’ll be on the road across North America on tours with Operators and Thao & The Get Down Stay Down beginning February 17. Full tour dates can be found below.

"[Sprengelmeyer] can be gentle and folky or muster mock-classical strings and flute; she overdubs herself into a hearty campfire choir or an ethereal descant. She can be stark and electric like P. J. Harvey or gather up a grand, handmade anthem like Arcade Fire...” – Jon Pareles, NEW YORK TIMES
