Patterson Hood Talks New Drive-By Truckers Tour, Album

TOUR STARTS SEPTEMBER 17 IN MEMPHIS, TN


Drive-By Trukers

Patterson Hood of the Drive-
By Truckers
issued this statement yesterday:

“Y’ALL:

We leave this week for next leg of DBT The Big To-Do Tour. This will be final USA leg of the tour and it’s a
good one. Our opening act for most of it are The Henry
Clay People
who opened for us
earlier this year and are
Fantastic. We’ll also be playing a couple of dates with our dear friends Hill Country Revue who put on a
kickass show.

Don’t forget, there’s a little more time before the deadline to enter
the Nuci’s Space / Drive-By Truckers Halloween Rock’ N
Raffle
. The Winner will get all inclusive
trip for two to see DBT in our beloved Richmond VA at The National (one of the greatest venues in America) on
Halloween Weekend. Our dear artist Wes Freed (who does all DBT artwork) lives there and we’ll be going
all out celebrating Halloween that Saturday Night. Prizes include airfare, VIP tickets for two (including Meet and
Greet w/ band), hotel accommodations and spending cash. It’s a $2000.00 valued prize and entering is only $5 plus
you’re supporting a great cause. Go to www.rocknraffle.com for more details.

We’ve been wanting to play a Halloween Show in Richmond for years and are finally getting to do it (at least on the
29th and 30th). Richmond is a beautiful and somewhat haunted town that has inspired Edgar Allen Poe, Wes Freed
and certainly us. The National is an amazing venue and Bobby Bare Jr is opening, playing songs off of his stellar new
album A Storm – A Tree – My Mother’s Head which will be on my year end list.

Tickets are selling fast for our upcoming European / UK Tour. The UK dates look like they’ll all sell out in advance
and the European sales are by far our fastest and best yet. It’s been too long and we plan on making it up and then
some.

We’re also gearing up for our year end finale in NYC for NYE. More details to be announced soon. We also recently
added a show in Philly on Jan 1 at the TLA, tickets are on sale now for both shows<www.drivebytruckers.com/tour>.

Oh Yeah, we also finished our next album this week and I can’t wait to tell Y’all all about it very soon.

See You at The Big To-Do!

Kyle Hollingsworth Band: November Live Dates

MILWAUKEE, CHICAGO, ST. LOUIS & IOWA CITY GET A VISIT

Kyle Hollingsworth

After wrapping up a successful run of summer festival performances, the Kyle Hollingsworth Band will hit the road in the Midwest this November. St. Louis’ Messy Jiverson will join KHB on all dates. Tickets will be on sale Monday, September 13, at Noon CDT at www.kylehollingsworth.com, and on sale at venue outlets Wednesday, September 15, at Noon CDT.

KHB Tour Dates

November 10 Miramar Theatre Milwaukee, WI
November 11 Martyrs’ Chicago, IL
November 12 Old Rock House St. Louis, MO
November 13 Iowa City Yacht Club Iowa City, IA

Playing in String Cheese Incident and leading his own band has allowed Hollingsworth unrestricted access to the world of music, and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness that can move from funk to bluegrass on a chord change.

“In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we’re not afraid to move in and out of genres,” he says, “and because of that I’ve learned to be creative, not only on stage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to.”

Hollingsworth’s most recent solo release is Then There’s Now.

Joe Pug Announces $10 Tour

DOWNLOAD THE FREE EP IN THE MEANTIME


Joe Pug

Indie singer-songwriter Joe
Pug
has a reputation for taking care of his fans. First, he mailed them free CDs (which he’s still doing on
his website – www.joepugmusic.com). Then he gave
them the In The Meantime EP for free (click here to get your
free copy). Now, he has taken it a step further by keeping prices low for shows on his upcoming $10 Tour.

“It’s
been my honor over the last two years to play support for artists that I admire deeply,” Pug explains. “This fall,
however, the show is ours. And since we’re at the top of the bill, we make the rules. So let’s start hereÂ… tickets will
be ten dollars. Traveling the country night after night we’ve seen folks in every city tightening their belts. That you
spend a few of those stretched dollars on our shows is heartening. We’d like to show our appreciation.”
