Following a string of sold out dates with a reunited Nickel Creek, founding member/guitarist Sean Watkins is setting out on a solo tour in 2015 in support of his album All I Do Is Lie.
All I Do Is Lie came out in 2014, released by Roaring Girl Records. As with most Watkins projects, it spans multiple genres and shows off his virtuosic musicianship.
“[All I Do Is Lie] is a culmination of the past 10 years,” he said in a statement. “It was borne out of a drive to step out of supportive roles in bands. I do like backing up other musicians, but in the last couple of years, I’ve started owning my own personality as a musician. I’ve had the urge to put my name on something and step out of the supporting role.”
The 2015 tour is Watkins’ first full headlining tour in support of a solo project. Check out the dates below.
