Yep, that's what it says in the latest Dirty Linen. No further info other than "September".

Any of our UK friends know more?

Cheers,
Michael

Northern Maine? I'm in Northern California! But if she comes in September, I'll be in Europe anyway.

Still, I'd love to have more information.

Here's the full quote from Dirty Linen:

"Cult legend Vashti Bunyan will undertake her first-ever US tour in September. A full 35 years after the release of her debut album "Just Another Diamond Day", Bunyan wrote, recorded, and released the long-overdue follow-up last year, the breathtakingly beautiful "Lookaftering". A review is at[http://howlinwuelf.com/_wsn/page3.html]

From that review: "The album title itself, a personalised word that describes the role of "taking care of someone - human or animal - or even something that needs to be done, that needs lookaftering."

this from the Pitchfork media site, though the info is available a lot of places on the web as of June 6, 2006:

After spending the summer hitting the European festival circuit, she'll kick off a brief trek on our shores with a show in Vancouver on September 1.

Bunyan will be accompanied on the road by Scottish musicians Jo Mango (piano, flute, kalimba, concertina) and Gareth Dickson (guitar) as well as Kevin Barker of Currituck County on guitar and a violinist and cellist who have yet to be determined.
