### 󠀁[󠀁[**Loreena McKennitt’s The Visit Revisited Fall Tour Coming to the U.S.**

#### _First performances in America in 8 years_

**MARCH 17, 2023 (Stratford, ON) — **It is with excitement and optimism that artist**
Loreena McKennitt** has announced she’ll be touring in the U.S. Northeast and parts
of the Midwest this October and November. It’s been eight years since the internationally-
renowned, award-winning Canadian singer/songwriter last toured in America.

**_The Visit Revisited Tour: The Next Chapter_**_ _commemorates the 32nd anniversary
of McKennitt’s life-altering, Juno Award-winning album, **_The Visit_**. The album
was released in Canada in 1991 and internationally in 1992 as she entered into a
partnership with major international record company, **Warner Music Group**. _The
Visit _was the recording that propelled McKennitt onto the world stage, where she
has comfortably remained ever since.

The fall tour will kick off **Oct. 11, 2023** in **Portland, ME** followed by performances
in 23 other American cities, including **Boston**, **New York** and **Chicago**,
heading as far west as **Milwaukee** and **Minneapolis**. Performances will include
every song on _The Visit_, (in the order they appear on the album), as well as other
fan favourites from across her catalogue. **Tickets will go on sale Friday March
24 at 10:00 a.m. local time at each of the performance venues. **

“I’m so anxious to get back to the United States, even though I do know we are still
in the long tail of the pandemic and touring is not without risks,” says McKennitt.“
But there are hopeful signs things are improving and we’ll continue to take precautions
as we share the music with our American friends who I have missed very much.”

Accompanying her on tour will be long-time musical companions **Caroline Lavelle**
on cello, **Brian Hughes** on guitar, **Hugh Marsh** on violin and **Dudley Phillips**
on bass. 

The fall tour will also take McKennitt to a handful of western Canadian cities, 
including Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton, with exact dates soon to be confirmed.
She will also be making rare appearances at three summer folk festivals in her home
province of Ontario this August.  

The first chapter of _The Visit Revisited Tour _was a 10-performance, eight-city
tour in eastern Canada during September and October 2022. It followed McKennitt’s
release in September 2021 of **_The Visit: The Definitive Edition_** which celebrated
the 30th anniversary of her original recording of _The Visit_. The deluxe, limited-
edition album featured an enhanced listening experience and included four CDs, audio
Blu-ray and an illustrated booklet with relived memories and previously unpublished
material. 

McKennitt’s last pre-pandemic tour outside Canada was in 2018. **_The Lost Souls
Tour_** kicked off in her home base of Stratford, Canada that September and was 
followed by performances in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The tour then took her 
to Europe the following spring and summer for 49 concerts, eventually wrapping up
back in Canada in the fall of 2019. 

McKennitt’s eclectic Celtic blend of pop, folk and world music has sold over **14
million albums worldwide**. Her recordings have achieved Gold, Platinum and multi-
Platinum status in 15 countries on four continents. She has twice been nominated
for a **GRAMMY® Award** and has won two **Juno Award**s, as well as a **Billboard
International Achievement Award**. McKennitt was inducted into the **Canadian Songwriter’s
Hall of Fame **in March, 2023.

She has performed in some of the world’s most-respected and historic concert venues,
from Carnegie Hall to the famous Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain and for dignitaries
including the late Queen Elizabeth II and His Majesty King Charles III, and other
heads of state.   In addition to her musical career, McKennitt has been recognized
for a number of noteworthy philanthropic initiatives, including:
