Sturgill Simpson

Sturgill Simpson will make his long-awaited live return to the UK and Europe next year, under his new name Johnny Blue Skies. The tour, Simpson’s first since 2020, includes Eventim Apollo on 1st March.

The tour announcement follows the release of Passage Du Desir, released in July this year to universal acclaim. Released on Simpson’s own independent label, High Top Mountain Records, and on Because Music in France, the album is made up of eight songs produced by Johnny Blue Skies and David Ferguson and recorded at Clement House Recording Studio in Nashville, TN and Abbey Road Studios in London, England.

Since the release of Passage Du Desir, Simpson and his band - Kevin Black (bass), Robbie Crowell (keys), Laur Joamets (guitar) and Miles Miller (drums) - have been on the road across the US, including headline slots at Outside Lands and Austin City Limits Music Festival.
