Jim Adkins, lead-singer of multi-platinum rock band Jimmy Eat World, will be playing Glasgow’s Cottiers Theatre in September – one of just four shows in the UK.
The musician is also launching a string of singles this summer every Friday until August 14, having released I Will Go on July 10.
The singles series will also be available as a one-time purchase digital subscription here. Three songs of original material will accompany three cover songs over the six Fridays.
After touring extensively with the band on the back of their latest album Damage, Jim Adkins is looking forward to embarking on his first solo tour of Europe.
He said: “2015 seemed like as good a time as any to take a second and experiment with life outside the pattern.
“In the past I have been involved with solo work, playing mostly benefit concerts locally in my home of Arizona. “Toward the end of our last European tour I decided to stick around and play a solo show in Berlin, DE.
He added: “I thought to myself: Hey, this is different and also pretty fun.. I could keep going. So why not?”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
