Having sold out his two December 2013 London shows in a matter of days, folk balladeer extraordinaire Nathaniel Rateliff is coming back in early 2014 to treat fans up and down the country to his most extensive tour of the UK yet.

The tour will take in eleven cities and includes a stop off at London’s Dingwalls on 28th January 2014, Nathaniel’s biggest headline show in the capital to date.

The first show, in Belfast, coincides with the release of his incredible second album ‘Falling Faster Than You Can Run’ (out 20th January on Mod y Vi/Thirty Tigers).  Produced by Nathaniel and Jamie Mefford, the album is a stunning collection of eleven frank, heartfelt and astonishingly self-reflective tales of love, life and all the possible pitfalls in between.

As anyone who has ever been lucky enough to catch Nathaniel live will attest, these shows are absolutely not to be missed.

He’s consistently toured the world with the band during this time, but only on rare occasions has he taken the stage solo to perform their catalogue of melodic, soulful pop songs. With the band mostly on hiatus for 2013, and Caws currently living in Cambridge, UK, he recently made his London solo debut at a sold out St Pancras Old Church.
