Elvis Costello & The Imposters Say "We're All Going On A Summer Holiday”
Tour Starts On June 7th

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets To Open All Dates

General On Sale Begins Friday March 31, 2023 at 10am Local on ElvisCostello.com

Elvis Costello & The Imposters - with their special guest Charlie Sexton - are proud to announce: “We're All Going On A Summer Holiday” – a 23 date tour produced by Live Nation. Commencing on June 7th in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, the tour includes stops at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and the Beacon Theatre in NYC. Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets will open all of the coast-to-coast dates.

TICKETS: The general on sale for We're All Going On A Summer Holiday will begin Friday March 31, 2023 at 10am Local on ElvisCostello.com.

Since returning to the road in the summer of 2021, in the guise of "Elvis Costello & The Layabouts", E.C. and The Imposters - Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas, Davey Faragher and augmented by Texas guitarist Charlie Sexton - have undertaken three tours in the United States and one in the U.K. and northern Europe. Most recently Costello played the highly-acclaimed “100 Songs and More”, a ten-night engagement at the Gramercy Theater, NYC at which he played more than 230 original songs, repeating only three titles. The shows that began in solo performance went on to spring nightly surprises, involving everything from an ensemble including musical saw, fiddle and Uillean pipes to an eight-person Broadway vocal chorus led by M.D. Rob Mathes, duets with jazz bassist, Endea Owens and, from the halfway point, performing with Steve Nieve at the piano before adding two different horn sections, led by trumpet player and arranger, Michael Leonhart. The stand included guest vocal appearances by Rebecca Lovell, La Marisoul and JSWISS and concluded with a more than three hour finale performance with the full band line-up.

The "We're All Going On A Summer Holiday " dates will follow two headlining appearances at the Byron Bay Bluesfest in Australia, three nights at the Sydney Opera House and a show at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne. In May, Costello and Steve Nieve will return to the concert hall stage together for the first time in twenty years, in Reykjavik, Iceland. Further dates are planned for later in the year and will be announced shortly.

Since 2018, Costello has issued ten record releases; the most recent being, “The Songs of Bacharach & Costello,” a 4-CD, 2-LP box-set celebrating his nearly 30-year songwriting collaboration with Burt Bacharach. It was named Best New Reissue by Pitchfork. The Grammy Award-winning Elvis Costello and The Imposters album "Look Now" of 2018 was followed by the companion E.P., "Purse" while a French language E.P., "La Face Du Pendule à Coucou" followed the album, "Hey Clockface" - recorded in Helsinki and, Paris. Together with co-producer, Sebastian Krys, Costello also completed work on "Spanish Model" - an adaptation of 1978's album "This Year's Model" with new vocals recorded in lyrical adaptation and translation with a cast of Latin music performers. In 2022, the latest Elvis Costello and The Imposters release, "The Boy Named If," was followed into the stores by "The Resurrection of Rust,” - the recording debut after fifty years of Rusty - the duo of Liverpool-based singer-songwriters, D.P. MacManus and Allan Mayes, accompanied by The Imposters for new recordings of their 1972 repertoire including two Nick Lowe compositions from his days in the band Brinsley Schwarz.

Preparations for a return to the stage in 2021 (and again in the summer of 2022) led to the release of "The Boy Named If (Alive at Memphis Magnetic)'", which found the band running down live arrangements of their new songs along with the Jagger/Richards song, "Out Of Time" and Nick Lowe's 1976 Dutch release, "Truth Drug". The collection was completed by a brand new version of "Magnificent Hurt" by the Japanese duo, chelmico.

D.P. MacManus and Lowe first met in a public house, opposite The Cavern in Liverpool in 1972. Lowe went on to produce "Elvis Costello's" largely ignored Stiff Records debut 45rpm, "Less Than Zero" and the subsequent failed singles releases, "Alison" and "Red Shoes", although the same songs received more attention upon the release of his debut album, "My Aim Is True" in July '77 in the U.K. and in a Columbia Records release late in the same year.

Between late 1977 and 1980, Nick Lowe produced the Elvis Costello and the Attractions albums, "This Year's Model", "Armed Forces", "Get Happy" and ‘"Trust,". In the Spring of 1979, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and Mink Deville were joined by Rockpile - featuring both Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds - and undertook a three-month package tour of the United States. At this time, Costello's version of a song from the last Brinsley Schwarz album, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love & Understanding" saw its first release as the B-Side of the Radar Records single, "American Squirm", credited to "Nick Lowe And His Sound" with the producer seen on the picture sleeve seated at the mixing board of Eden Studios in tinted horn-rims, cradling a Jazzmaster guitar with a newly inlaid fretboard reading, "Costello". The track was subsequently added to the U.S. edition of Elvis Costello and the Attractions, third album, "Armed Forces".

In 1984, Costello took the producer's chair for the first and only time at a Nick Lowe session for the Hi Records-informed single, "L.A.F.S." which was also included on the F-Beat Records album, "Nick Lowe & His Cowboy Outfit". In the same year, the duo recorded the Burt Bacharach/Mack David/Barney Williams song, "Baby It's You" at Lowe's Am-Pro Studios in Shepherd's Bush, London, also the location for a Boxing Day (1979) recording session with Lowe's then father-in-law, Johnny Cash which yielded the hit release, "Without Love" and the Cash/Costello duet, "We Ought To Be Ashamed". In 1986, Nick Lowe produced the Attractions' last complete album, "Blood & Chocolate" at Olympic Studios, before returning for a bass-playing cameo on "Hurry Down Doomsday (The Bugs Are Taking Over)” for the 1990 Warner Brothers album, "Mighty Like A Rose". In 1993 Nick Lowe (or Costello himself) played bass on nine of the songs on the album, "Brutal Youth", which some mistook for a full Attractions reunion. They most recently performed together last summer on The Boy Named If & Other Favourites tour.

Thank you, thank you, to those who posted the early access codes. Was able to get tickets in both SF and LA.

It sure would be great if whoever runs the website for EC could get that mailing list working. I am registered for my personal address and do occasionally get promotional emails . . . but I learned of this tour yesterday from Google News alerts and not EC's own d-list. And I tried to register my work email as a backup and the verification email never showed up.

The EC website does a fantastic job and the email wasn’t sent out until this morning. I’ll be catching two of these shows in Vancouver and Phoenix. Good times…

No, the website does a crappy job. I'm on the mailing list using 2 completely different email addresses and I didn't get a PreSale passcode sent to either address. That's not good by any definition.
If it wasn't for the generous people in this group, I might still be waiting to buy tickets. I didn't get the exact seats I wanted, but thankfully, I won't be sitting too far from my ideal location.

Looks like Official Community runs the website. I didn’t receive an email with the code either. It might require a Gen Zer with no work ethic to push a button. Who knows. Tix acquired via presale thanks to this community. Peace.

From Bridgeport, CT to Philadelphia, PA, Elvis Costello & The Imposters – already augmented by guitarist, Charlie Sexton – will also be joined by a horn section featuring trumpet player/arranger, Michael Leonhart,
saxophonist, Donny McCaslin and the trombonist, Ray Mason.

SECOND NYC SHOW ADDED BEACON THEATER – THURSDAY JULY 13

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets To Open All Dates.

These horn players first joined Costello over two shows of the “100 Songs & More” stand, his acclaimed 10-night engagement at the Gramercy Theatre, NYC, at which over 230 titles were performed, most of them original compositions with only three titles being repeated.

Michael Leonhart wrote or adapted horn arrangements for a variety of Costello’s songs featured from “Pills & Soap”, “Almost Blue” and “Come The Meantimes”.

On NIGHT NINE, Leonhart became the first trumpet player to take the solo on “Shipbuilding” since Chet Baker’s original performance on the studio recording in 1983 before leading the horn section into the sequel song, “Cinco Minutos Con Vos”, first recorded for “Wise Up Ghost” with The Roots.

Donny McCaslin is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader whose recordings include his trio album “Recommended Tools”, “Fast Forward” and his vital contribution to David Bowie’s final album, “Blackstar”.

McCaslin raised the emotional pitch of NIGHT EIGHT at the Gramercy Theatre with a passionate tenor saxophone solo in the coda of Costello’s ballad, “Someone Took The Words Away”.

Ray Mason is a trombonist, arranger and member of Antibalas as well as having featured in numerous ensembles and concert collaborations with artists from Erykah Badu and Randy Newman to Taylor Swift and Valerie June. He was among the players accompanying Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the 2020 Super-Bowl Half-Time show, so is unlikely to be confounded by any of The Imposters’ dance moves.

In 2020, Elvis Costello wrote lyrics for a Michael Leonhart composition that became “Newspaper Pane” after Costello had provided the spoken word performance to Leonhart’s recorded collaboration with Bill Frisell and Nels Cline which became, “Radio Is Everything” on Costello’s “Hey Clockface” album before writing the lyrics and recording vocals for “Shut Him Down” from The Michael Leonhart Orchestra release, “The Normyn Suites”.
