Sam Palladio announces Jamie Lawson as UK tour special guest

Acclaimed musician and actor Sam Palladio has announced Jamie Lawson as special guest support for his Before We Lost The Light UK headline tour for September 2024.

The five-date run begins at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on September 22nd and finishes at London’s Omeara on September 30th. Tickets are on sale now here.

Speaking about Jamie joining the tour Sam says, “I’ve been a fan of Jamie for years ever since hearing his beautiful song ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’. Over the years we’ve had the chance to hang out together in Nashville and I thought there would be no one better to share the stage with than a great songwriter and storyteller like Jamie.

Jamie and I both hail from the West Country and it’s always great to collaborate with an artist who you share common ground with. For me the Cornish landscape has shaped me and my music and I wanted to celebrate great talent from our little corner of England.”

Sam Palladio will be touring his anticipated forthcoming debut album The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light. The album is released next Friday (September 13th 2024) and available to pre-order now here.

The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light is a bright beacon for the Cornish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor’s whirlwind trans-Atlantic life.

The album was born in Nashville, with some judicious nods back to the UK and finished in Los Angeles in the iconic “Prince Room” of the legendary Sunset Sound studios with Grammy-winning producer Dave Sardy (Noel Gallagher, Band Of Horses, Royal Blood).

The title of the record The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light is a lyric taken from the single ‘Something On My Mind’, an achingly touching pop ballad inspired by the passing of Sam’s mother Sally and at its heart the record is a tribute to her.

The album also speaks to his lifelong experience in and around music, his deep immersion in Nashville and heartland Americana, while also retaining his obsessive fandom for rock and guitar music alongside addressing very personal and life changing moments, prompting a diverse record of moving emotions, textures and sounds.

Stardust glistens throughout the stunning record and Sam is joined by collaborators including Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil on the laid-back anthem ‘Spill Your Heart’, while Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett lays down scorching riffs and soloing on the rollicking barroom anthem and recent single ‘Tennessee’.

Sam wrote his latest single ‘Gone Like The Summer’ with ex-Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson and for the video Sam enlisted the help of actor Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween, The Runaways, Nashville) to play out the musings on past romances found in the breezy indie track.

The video also throws back to the fictional romance the pair shared in the hit TV series Nashville, the show which skyrocketed Sam to fame in America, where Sam played Gunnar Scott and Scout caught Gunnar’s attention as Erin.

The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light captures the best side of Sam as he readies for his rock ‘n’ roll close up. Fans can catch Sam live and in the spotlight on his forthcoming headline tour.
