Aimee Mann Kicks off Acoustic Trek
You'll have the opportunity to get intimate with the inhabitants of Mann's songs starting tonight, when she kicks off a three-week acoustic journey in Boulder, Colorodo. The tour, in support of her 2005 album The Forgotten Arm, will be a more stripped-down affair than previous outings performing the same material. It will include a performance on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" on February 9.
In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Mann said that she does not expect to put out a new album before 2007. "I'm not a fast writer and I usually have a couple of things stockpiled by this time so, yeah, (I'm) wondering a little bit how long it's going to take me to come up with material for another record. But also, you just can't worry about that."
