If 2017 was the Charlie Sheen of years, 2018 is gonna be Muhammad Ali.
Drunken Prayer is stepping to the middle of the ring with a Kickstarter campaign, two new albums, a video, and a return trip to the UK with last years’ West Coast tourmates, the incomparable Handsome Family.
For the uninitiated, The Handsome Family are probably best known for the theme song to True Detective, “Far from Any Road“. I’ve been a fan of their crazy songs since I was a little baby. The tour winds through England and Scotland from March 1st until the end of the month. I’ll be opening the shows by myself. Here’s the full itinerary:
3.01 Birmingham, Mama Roux
3.02 Gateshead, Sage 2
3.03 Liverpool, Leaf
3.04 Manchester, The Academy
3.06 Cardiff, The Tramshed
3.07 Exeter, The Phoenix
3.08 Hebden Bridge, The Trades Club
3.10 Edinburgh, La Belle Angele
3.11 Glasgow, ABC
3.12 Aberdeen, The Lemon Tree
3.13 Stirling, The Tolbooth
3.15 London, Round Chapel
3.17 Leeds, Howard Assembly Room
3.18 Sheffield, The Plug
3.20 Norwich, The Waterfront
3.21 Cambridge, The Junction
3.22 Bristol, St Georges
3.23 Southampton, The Brook
3.24 Brighton, St Georges Church
3.25 Folkestone, The Quarterhouse
NEW MUSIC: Next week I’ll be sending everyone on the newsletter information about the Kickstarter campaign that’s going live next month. It’s in support of the new studio album I’m recording and, just between you and me, there’s also a limited edition bonus acoustic CD I have ready to ship as soon as the campaign ends. I’m giving you fine folks first crack at this stuff because you’ve been kind enough to let me into your inboxes.
Sign up for the newsletter!
Stay tuned!
