Manda Mosher Announces EP and Tour With Ashley Raines

.
Manda Mosher will release a new EP, City of Clowns, on August 10, 2010 through Red Parlor Records.

An ode to her hometown, the EP is a follow up the 2009 debut album Everything You Need of which American Songwriter magazine proclaimed "beautiful, compelling melodies with poignant lyrics sung with a sensual, sultry authority�This is good, this is now."

Manda will take to the road to promote her new EP with Ashley Raines for their In Lieu of Flowers Tour. A collaborative road show, the two songwriters will take turns backing each other up in showcasing their respective material.

The pair will head across the West Coast hitting stops in California, Oregon, and Washington, then make their way through Utah and New Mexico and on to several dates in New York. Kicking off the tour in Creede, CO and ending in Evergreen, CO, a host of Colorado dates are peppered throughout the tour.

Her second release for Red Parlor, the new EP is an honest stripped-down recording of Manda and her band, reflecting where she is now and the urge to be as close to her true live sound as possible. A Los Angeles native and 6th generation Californian, the song "City of Clowns" is a full circle reflection of Manda's ongoing struggle to maintain her true identity while accepting the city where so many are not what they seem.

Manda's single "City of Clowns" will go to radio on August 12th. Manda's previous album Everything You Need was nominated for 2009 Hot AC Album of the Year. Check out http://mandamosher.com for further information and updates. Look for City of Clowns to be released on August 10, 2010.
