Texas Singer-Songwriter Susan Gibson and Moving Parts

Play Austin Show, Instore Behind New Album OUTER SPACE

 

(AUSTIN, Texas) ÷ Texas songstress Susan Gibson, backed by her band Moving Parts, makes two special appearances in July in Austin to celebrate her new album, OUTER SPACE (street date: July 12).

 

Gibson will appear at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20, at an instore at Waterloo Records & Video. On Saturday, July 23, at 9:45 p.m., Gibson and Moving Parts take the stage at Cactus Cafˇ on UT campus, with Bluehouse opening at 8:30. $10 tickets are available at the door or call 512.475.6515.

 

Gibson ÷ backed by Michael O'Connor on harmonic and electric guitar, Jack Saunders on bass and Rick Richards on drums ÷ will treat fans to tunes from OUTER SPACE, including its first single, "Happiest When I Moving," co-written with Jim Lauderdale; the percussion-driven "But a Dream," in which Gibson separates reality from fairy tales; "Cactus," a sexy story of a Mexican weed; "Stop the Bleeding," a nerve-jangling look at moving on; and "Still Time," a lament about time that won't stand still.

 

OUTER SPACE is easily Gibson's edgiest work to date ÷ with personal, soul-searching songs that she is known for and some adventurous departures both musically and lyrically ÷ and stretches her singer-songwriter boundaries with its rocking roots sound.

 

Produced by Houston-based Jack Saunders, the 14-cut album also includes a live version of the Gibson-penned "Wide Open Spaces," which Dixie Chicks propelled into one of the all-time best-selling country songs, with the album WIDE OPEN SPACES selling more than 16 million.

 

In addition to Lauderdale, Gibson co-wrote for OUTER SPACE the wistful "Upon Reentry" with another notable, Billy Burnett, the uplifting "Together Strong" with Randy Scruggs and Saunders, and "Company Man" with Saunders.
