Elle King continues to prove why her music is as genre fluid as her fans’ playlists. The multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and Diplo have teamed on “Without You,” (listen here) a new song out today. The song is also accompanied by a music video that was filmed in Nashville during CMA Fest and can be seen below.
Of the new collaboration, American Songwriter says, “The twangy track marries a fast-picking banjo with a dreamy acoustic pop melody, with King taking lead vocals.”
Announced earlier today, King has joined the Campaign to Preserve Rockwood Music Hall in New York City. The iconic venue has hosted more than 75,000 shows and helped launched the careers of thousands of artists. The benefit concert series will kick-off June 30 with a performance by Sara Bareilles, who is leading the campaign. King will headline a show there on July 31 and the series also includes performances by Chris Thile, Ingrid Michaelson and more. Tickets are available here.
King celebrated the beginning of the summer tour season last night with an hour-long set to a massive festival crowd at Summerfest in Milwaukee. The show also featured CMA Award winning singer-songwriter Eric Church.
On Saturday King takes part in the Boise Music Festival which includes performances by Jelly Roll and Ludacris. On Sunday she headlines the Sun Valley Museum of Arts Summer Concert and Monday she joins Melissa Etheridge in Salt Lake City for the Red Butte Garden Outdoor Concert Series.
Earlier this month she hosted CMA Fest, the Music Event of Summer with Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson in Nashville. The three-hour primetime concert special that will air July 19 will include performances by some of the biggest names in music! CMA Music Fest is celebrating its Milestone 50th Anniversary.
