Elvis Costello and The Imposters are hitting the road for a 20-date summer tour to celebrate the release of their new album ‘The Boy Named If.’ The summer tour “The Boy Named If & Other Favourites” kicks off in August coming to Artpark Amphitheater in Buffalo, NY and The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York, NY.
The first time since 1989 artists Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets come together to join Elvis Costello and The Imposters on tour for select shows. In four short years, Nick Lowe produced Elvis’ debut album, ‘My Aim Is True’, ‘This Year’s Model’, ‘Armed Forces’, ‘Get Happy’, and ‘Trust’ and he didn’t just stop there. Artists like Johnny Cash, Tommy McLain, and Sir Rod Stewart, Engelbert Humperdinck and Solomon Burke recorded songs from Nick Lowe.
The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher and Elvis Costello are joined together with Charlie Sexton a Texas guitarist once again since the “Hello Again” tour in October 2021. Joining Costello and The Imposters is a vocalist appearance from Nicole Atkins for shows in Huber Heights and the Buffalo. Nicole Atkins has a recently released song “Memphis Ice.”
“Songs that kick hard and deep. It’s anything but quiet … the Imposters sound gleefully, brutally unified.”
– The New York Times (Jon Pareles Critic’s Pick)
