With the release of “Far” on Sire Records, the Russian-born Regina Spektor dusts off her suitcases and prepares to hit the road. Fresh off a jaunt in Europe, Regina will be getting everything started in Saint Paul, MN on September 11. The Regina Spektor tour will run through the fall stopping in Portland on November 1.

“Far” was released June 23 which served as the follow-up to her 2006 hit “Begin to Hope.” “Far” leans on a bevy of producers to construct her multi-layered sound from David Kahne (Paul McCartney) to Mike Elizondo (Eminem). This effort comes on the heels of the “Laughing With” EP she released in early-June, featuring the unreleased track by the same name, “The Call” from the Chronicles of “Narnia: Prince Caspian” soundtrack and “Folding Chair” which would later find its way on “Far.”

Hopefully this tour won’t be plagued by symptoms of Regina’s past. She had to cancel, reschedule then cancel again a handful of dates in 2007 due to a nasty bout with vertigo that set in at her show at the Ryman in Nashville.
