Horses released Sept 29, 2017.

The London Palladium, 9th May 2018
Following the release of his new album BOTANICAL GARDENS on the 24th March 2018, prolific
American songwriter and performer Don
McLean has announced a 14-date UK tour with support from Nashville star, Jarrod Dickenson.
With over 40
gold and platinum records worldwide, Don McLean is one of America’s most
beloved country artists. Botanical Gardens’, his 19th studio album
and first in 8 years, is arguably one of Don’s most reflective to date, as he
puts it, “The inspiration for the project
started years ago when I would walk in the beautiful gardens in Sydney
Australia near the Opera House. I would dream young dreams and it was a comfort
and an inspiration. I was always young inside, like we all are, and I felt it
again there.”
In nearly 50
years on the scene, Don’s songs have become a staple in Americana music. His
music has been performed by artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Madonna, Fred
Astaire, Chet Atkins, Weird Al Yankovick, George Michael, Josh Groban, Coolio
and Ed Sheeran and his biggest hit ‘American Pie’ was recognised with high
honours by being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003.
Re-joining Don
on tour by request of the legend himself is Jarrod Dickenson. The Nashville based, Texas born musician who has
already supported legendary artists, Bonnie Raitt, The Waterboys, Jools
Holland, The Stylistics and The White Buffalo.

Storytelling is
something of a Texas tradition. Tall hats and even taller tales are woven into
the fabric of The Lone Star State, and singer-songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson can
spin a yarn with the best of them. Hailing from Waco, Jarrod spends most of his
time on the road bringing his own particular brand of soulful Americana to a
wide variety of music loving audiences around the globe.
When asked about going on tour with Don, Jarrod said "I was humbled and honoured to be
invited to open for the legendary Don McLean once again. His contribution to
popular music and the craft of song writing can't be overstated, and to be able
to watch a master at work every night for 32 nights, is an opportunity like no
other. I'm excited to sing my songs to these music-loving audiences in some of
the most stunning rooms across the UK and Ireland and will be trying to learn
as much as I can from Don and his incredible band in the process. It's going to
be a fun ride."
