Jersey girl Nicole Atkins and her backing band the Sea have been riding a veritable ocean swell of good buzz since the release of the album Neptune City last year. Atkins and the band have toured pretty much non-stop since that record's October release. And there's more to come in the immediate future. Later this month, Atkins and the Sea head out on another lengthy tour that stretches into late March. The new trek kicks off on Valentine's Day in Atkins' home state.
