Charles Bradley will head out for an extensive winter tour in support of his captivating, raw and honest debut record No Time For Dreaming, out January 25 via Daptone imprint Dunham Records. The 62-year old soul singer kicks off his U.S. tour opening for Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on January 21 in Portsmouth, NH and then heads to Europe for a two-week tour opening for Lee Fields and the Expressions. He's set to join The Budos Band in April for a mid-west run as well. Look for Charles to also headline a record release show at Southpaw in Brooklyn on Tuesday, January 25. All tour dates are below.
Joining Charles for all dates in Europe is The Menahan Street Band (an all-star assemblage of musicians from the Dap-Kings, The Budos Band, Antibalas, El Michels Affair, and Lee Fields and the Expressions), who also backed Bradley through the entirety of Dreaming.
