California-based songwriterCorinne West kicks off her 2017 UK Tour inApril 2017, one that she’s been looking forward to as she reveals “There is always a certain magic in the UK tours. It will be stellar to be with you once again.”

In advance of her tour, Corinne will release a single; a reworking of the Battlefield Band songThe Yew Tree, written by Brian McNeill which is released 14th April.  Corinne is delighted to return to Otterton Mill following last year’s sell out performance.

While Corinne West is a well-established figure on the acoustic roots/folk scene with five critically-acclaimed albums to her name she’s also a visual artist (She has a Degree in Art from the New College in San Francisco). In 2011, at the end of a tour covering 11 countries, Corinne took a sabbatical from performing full-time. She was granted an Austrian Artist in Residency Visa to create both visual art and music in the country. During the residency, she was commissioned to create a large-scale installation, which involved transforming an abandoned castle into a magical dreamscape. “Fairy Night at the Villa,” a private event which Corinne describes as a “multi-dimensional art experience,” featured the entire estate. On the grounds outside the castle, she installed multi-coloured lighting design, fire dancers, mimes and roaming minstrels. Costumed actors mingled with guests, all in line with the mythic Fairy Tale Theme. The installation involved a multitude of mediums and was completed in just one month. Corinne emerged from her residency in Austria and returned to the United States with renewed inspiration and focus.
