The Brooklyn soul singer, with his horn-heavy live band, tours the US following the release of his exuberant new album, 99 Cent Dreams (Yep Roc). The LP marks a return to the timeless music Reed fell in love with as a young man – performing in the juke joints of Clarksdale, MS, and the Chicago church of Chess Records artist-turned-preacher Mitty Collier.
Rolling Stone praises Tolman for having “the sass of Nikki Lane mixed with the clever wordplay of Brandy Clark.” Tolman will bring that sass, along with a lifetime of experience growing up in Music City, to the stage with a backing band and will perform songs from her debut LP, There Goes The Neighborhood (7/19 via Old Sol Records).
Songwriter and guitarist John Darnielle, bassist Peter Hughes, drummer Jon Wurster and multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas play some of their biggest venues to date on this extensive headlining US tour. These shows follow a busy 2018 for the band, in which they co-produced several episodes (and a live event) of the acclaimed podcast I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats; wrote a song for WWE professional wrestler Sasha Banks (at her request); and surprise-released the Hex of Infinite Binding EP, earning immediate praise from NPR and Pitchfork, noting the songs' “vivid characters, both real and fictionalized, [employed] as conduits for complicated ideas."
After winning a GRAMMY and selling out his first headlining Kennedy Center performance, the busiest man in R&B announces a career first: a “Keys & A Mic” tour.

The Burlington, VT, singer-songwriter deconstructing “toxic fraternity” on new album Gloria Duplex (Akira Records) presents his first headlining tour.

Rolling Stone recently praised Jamison’s “dreamy and downy soft, laced with orchestral strings and a Sufjan Stevens-worthy vocal" folk arrangements, which now will be fleshed out on stage with a full band.
