BRIT award winner and Grammy nominated songwriter KT Tunstall will be taking her latest album, NUT, on tour in 2023 with London one of the 16 tour dates currently on sale.

“Included in that line-up will be the brilliant Andy Burrows [of Razorlight] on drums (who played on NUT). He’ll also be opening the gigs with his own excellent show.”

NUT is the culmination of a seven-year project," Tunstall says. "It’s the final part of a trilogy of records that has spanned probably the most extreme and profound period of change in my life. The personal arc of these three records has been pretty extraordinary for me.”

KT explains the inspiration behind the album’s name: “Growing up in Scotland, if someone was losing their temper you would say, ‘Dinny lose yer Nut!’ I love that the word also means a seed. The album artwork is all about the brain being a garden; you reap what you sow, you need to keep the weeds at bay, and there is an almost supernatural beauty to when things blossom.”

The debut album established Tunstall as a captivating and dynamic performer, as well as a songwriter with a singular knack for balancing introspective folk and propulsive rock.

"There are two immediate, recognisable pillars of my style," she says. "I have this troubadour, acoustic guitar-driven emotional side. Then there’s definitely an electrified rock side of my work with rawness and teeth."
