Nashville, TN … Nashville-based Americana artist, Szlachetka, has announced new tour dates to promote his upcoming album Heart of My Hometown, out February 16. With performances scheduled across the country, Szlachetka will be playing a mix of full band and solo acoustic shows.

Heart of My Hometown, the sophomore album from Rolling Stone “Artist You Need to Know,” Szlachetka (pronounced SLA-HET-KA), is a mix of modern Americana, 70s California rock, and singer/songwriter sentiments. Produced by Grammy-winning producer David Bianco (Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams), the album shines new light on Szlachetka as a singer, prolific songwriter, storyteller, and fiery lead guitarist. Its touchstones include the charged roots-rock of Tom Petty and the warm, acoustic sounds of Jackson Browne.
“Storytelling lyrics, guitar prowess and vocals that sound raw and polished in the same breath,” The Boot writes. “He draws on Americana influences, rock-country qualities and even a few pop tendencies to create a song that’s rooted in folk and country music, yet raised to new lyrical, musical and emotional heights.”
On this tour, Szlachetka is also making several appearances as a clinician for BOSE. From his years as a touring professional musician, Szlachetka is able to provide unique insight into the importance of high quality gear including premium live sound equipment at the Guitar Center events.
