Leeds, UK based Living Body are thrilled to announce North American spring tour dates, including a stop in Austin at SXSW, in continued support of their debut album Body Is Working. The album was released last December on Kingfisher Bluez in the USA/Canada and Barely Regal in the UK/EU. Living Body is a new project from Chicagoan ex-pat and multi-instrumentalist Jeff T. Smith (formerly Juffage), featuring longtime collaborators Katie Harkin (Harkin, Sky Larkin, and touring member of Sleater-Kinney, Flock of Dimes, and Wild Beasts), and Tom Evans (Vessels). Upcoming North American tour dates, which feature a live lineup of Smith, Guy Justusson, and other performers are listed below.

The result of three years of near-fanatical work, Body Is Working was self-recorded at Smith’s studio in Leeds and mastered at Sterling Sound by Greg Calbi (Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Tom Petty, St. Vincent, Low, Tame Impala). The album marks Smith’s first release since 2011’s Semicircle (Function Records).
