Michael Kiwanuka is back in town, and it’s no secret that his show has sold out.

We first caught the soul singer in 2012 and wrote, “If Michael Kiwanuka's concert at the Fine Line Café last night, September 28th, wasn't sold out, it sure felt like it as the place was packed shoulder to shoulder.”

We caught him again a year later and noted, “Drawing comparisons to Otis Redding and Bill Withers, Kiwanuka manages to bring a style that is his own- humble and natural; a distinctive voice, with smooth grooved songs that show obvious staying power.”

Michael Kiwanuka’s sophomore album Love & Hate is out now on Interscope Records.

Cloves will open. The 20-year-old London-via-Melbourne singer recently released a new song ‘Better Now’ on November 18th. The single will also be available on her upcoming debut record (set for release in 2017 via Interscope).

UPDATE: The entire USA Michael Kiwanuka tour has been cancelled. Stay tuned for details.

Michael Kiwanuka Live:

11/30, Webster Hall, New York, NY
12/2, Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto, ON
12/3, Park West, Chicago, IL

The last time we saw folk singer Dar Williams, it was at the Gutherie Theater in 2010, so it's been a long time since we saw her. As we previously mentioned, Williams was a great storyteller, so expect to hear some funny stories from Williams.

Dar Williams is promoting her latest studio album Emerald, which featured Jill Sobule, Richard Thompson, The Milk Carton Kids, Jim Lauderdale, and more.

Lucy Wainwright Roche is set to open the show. We previously mentioned that her father is Loudon Wainwright III and brother is Rufus Wainwright. Roche will later tour with The Weepies in June/July 2015.
