Aimee Mann, the LA-based singer and songwriter described by the UK’s Sunday Times as no less than “one the best pop songwriters alive”, will tour Australia for the first time in September, 2009 taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Known for her exquisite and understated pop songwriting skills, Mann is something of an industry maverick, and is visiting Australian shores on the back of her 2008 album Smilers. This follows 2005’s daring and acclaimed concept album The Forgotten Arm, and 2006’s album One More Drifter In The Snow, another thematic affair which delved into the whole range of seasonal emotions that people have around Christmas.

Often compared musically with the Beatles and Badfinger, Aimee Mann is ‘the Dorothy Parker of rock’ (Glamour) capable of pairing the bleakest of poetry with the most soaring, infectious melodies.
