Brooklyn-based singer songwriter Luke Rathborne has announced a series of UK live shows.

He will play the following shows, with more last-minute additions expected:

Wednesday, February 23 – Broad Church @ The Social, London W1
Sunday, February 27 – Folke Newington @ The Drop, London N16
Monday, February 28 – Monto Water Rats, London WC1

Luke’s debut, self-titled mini-album is out, via his own True Believers label, on March 7. It features members of Antony And The Johnsons as his backing band and prompted Lauren Laverne to describe the 22-year-old in her Grazia column as “your new favourite hipster”. “When the songwriter whose Mercury-winning album changed your life likes it so much he lets you borrow his band for recording purposes, you know your music is on the right track,” she wrote.
