Reflecting on the albums milestone, KT says: “When I made my very first record, Eye To The Telescope, it never crossed my mind where I might be when it turned 20. It was a fantastically scrappy album to make, with very little money and a handful of musician friends. Over the years. I’ve been told the most amazing stories of what these songs mean to people all over the world, how they have kept them company through love and loss, through being lost and getting found. Needless to say, it’s been a beautiful thrill.”Experience that beautiful thrill when KT tours in May.Do not miss these special shows.
