V.V. Brown Touring the US

Earlier I wrote about the singer/songwriter V.V. Brown.  Well, her debut album Traveling Like the Light is slated to be released in January in the States and she will be playing a few gigs here this month to celebrate. I hope she adds some more American dates soon (specifically, Boston.)

October 24        New York, NY @ Santo’s Party House
October 26        Los Angeles, CA @ The Roxy
October 27        Los Angeles, CA @ Spaceland
October 29        San Francisco, CA @ Poleng Lounge

And my afterthought on this is, now that music is available internationally through the internet, shouldn't release dates be consistent worldwide?
