Hey Gang!
So, yesterday I mentioned that we would have some news to share. Here it is:
WE”RE GOING ON ANOTHER TOUR
The tour will be done in two 3-week legs, the first one covering the West coast, some Midwest, and some CANADA!!! The second will cover the South, East Coast, some more Midwest, and MORE CANADA!! Today we are going to talk about the first leg:
We are incredibly lucky to be touring with Laura Stevenson & the Cans and ROAR for this leg, and we look forward to hanging out and playing music with them for three weeks.
We are going to be touring with a full band this time. We have enlisted 3 of our amazing friends who played on Knife Man to come help us out live, they are Deacon Blue Batchelor, Owen Evans, and Preston Bryant. These guys also make up %75 of ROAR (hint, Ben is the other %25). Worry not though, purists, we will still play plenty of songs as an acoustic 2 person band for a portion of the set.
One last thing, we are currently assembling a new collection of songs that we have released but are now out of print or hard to find. Fingers crossed that this will come out by the tour. I think we can do it.
A few notes about the shows:
-> Before our 21+ show in Seattle, we are working on finding a place to do an all ages matinee show
-> We are ever grateful to be sharing the stage in Omaha with the amazing Cheap Girls
-> The show in San Diego is a benefit for the Che Cafe
Thank you for reading, we will have ticket links and the second leg up very soon.
