Nashville, TN – April 2, 2013 - Critically acclaimed, Grammy® Award winning musicians/songwriters Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale will bring their energetic, musically inspiring performances to the West Coast in May with dates announced in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Over the last few months Buddy, Jim and their all-star band have been entertaining crowds across the country including in NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, DC and Austin for the annual SXSW music festival where Paste Magazine called them “…the best-dressed men in Austin.”

Buddy and Jim are out on tour in support of their new duets record titled Buddy and Jim, which was recorded and produced at Buddy's home studio in Nashville. The Austin Chronicle described the result saying, “…the LP cuts a broad swath of Americana, the two Nashville linchpins' close harmony duets and stellar guitar work uniting the eclecticism of styles.”

As two of the most prolific writers and in demand musicians, who The Chicago Tribune recently described as a "...couple of Nashville mavericks who've written, sang, played on or produced some of the best records of the last 25 years," the two friends explained during an interview with The New Yorker that"...it took seventeen years to find the three days they needed to record their first album together."

In addition to making music together, Buddy and Jim co-host a weekly radio show which NPR Fresh Air calls “…highly entertaining.” The often irreverent and always entertaining show features performances and interviews with artists across the Americana genre and can

be heard on SiriusXM Outlaw Country Channel 60 Saturdays 10 pm ET. They also join forces annually for the Americana Honors and Awards show, which Jim hosts while Buddy leads the all-star band. Both artists have taken home multiple wins over the past several years at the Americana Honors and Awards show.
