Zee Avi announces tour dates supporting Peter Yorn this summer.
Performing songs from her debut album Zee Avi, Avi will play two nights at several prestigious venues including Webster Hall, NYC; Park West, Chicago; and Fine Line Music Café, Minneapolis during the tour.

Avi adds, “It’s such a great privilege to be touring with such a great artist like Pete Yorn. I’m looking forward to it!”

Avi, who was discovered on YouTube by Patrick Keeler of The Raconteurs, received a “Rising Star” four-part video homepage feature on YouTube.com, the day of release. Within 24 hours from the homepage feature she received over one million worldviews, including a view from Pete Yorn.

Zee Avi reached #2 on the Heatseakers Chart and currently is number 38 at the AAA Non Comm chart and rising. Wal-Mart is also featuring single, “Bitter Heart” in their national TV campaign. Carson Daly gave Avi her national TV debut on June 18th where she performed “Bitter Heart.” View here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ZH6QU0XvQ&feature=PlayList&p=D89A34C85A16F95C&index=30

“It’s a good story. The record is even better,” said Marie Clare and Paste Magazine wrote, “These words would sound pretentious in most songwriting canons, but Avi sounds natural and unaffected—she’s a well-educated kid who’s not afraid to show it. Her name deserves to be on that marquee, in headlining lights.”
