\"LeeAnnWomack\"Lee Ann Womack to Tour in London and Dublin<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lee Ann Womack has always been one of those artists who transcends labels, genres and great divides. Having sung for *Nelson Mandela*<\/strong><\/span> at the Concert for the Nobel Prize and Dr. Maya Angelou at her Celebration of Hope Rising, her appeal reaches beyond the traditional country star. And now that appeal is reaching across the Atlantic, where Womack will be one of the featured performers on 2015\u2019s Country To Country Tour.<\/p>\n

\"LeeAnnWomack01\"She will play London\u2019s massive O2 Arena on Saturday, March 7, then head to Dublin\u2019s 3 Arena to play for the Irish fans on Sunday, March 8. Designed to create a diverse picture of what country music can be, Womack shares the bill with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Brandy Clark.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I\u2019ve always loved about England is how wide-open and embracing they are of music, without worrying so much about what it is,\u201d Womack says. \u201cBut I also know both the UK and Irish fans listen so much closer to the music, they really pay attention to the lyrics and the poetry \u2013 and they really love true, hard country music and wonderful songs like very few do!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Womack would know. Recently featured in a 7,000 word profile in No Depression by noted author David Cantwell, he wrote of her artistic lean,<\/p>\n

\u201cHer music\u2019s the same as gospel in some ways, just looked at from life\u2019s other side.\u201d The Nashville Scene seconds that emotion, offering of The Way I\u2019m Livin\u2019s essence, \u201cknotty narratives dominate. What really makes them feel adult, and particularly ill-suited to partying, is the way their protagonists refuse to lie to themselves about the consequences of their actions and the states of their souls. Call it gospel-versant realism.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Womack gears up for her 2015 tour, lucky fans on the West Coast, as well as a few select Midcentral dates can hear the band that prompted NPR\u2019s Ann Powers to tell \u201cWorld Caf\u00e9\u201d in their Americana festival coverage, \u201cI\u2019m definitely going to her show, and standing in the front row, cheering her on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee Ann Womack was proud to sing for a Communist Terrorist a man who planned to kill thousands of woman and children. Strange how people we love are so easily fooled, Lee Ann Google MANDELA and find out the truth about your hero.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
