Pettisville, Ohio’s most famous family band, Girl Named Tom, winner of NBC’s 21 season of The Voice, announced their North American Christmas outing. The Joy of Christmas Tour is kicking off Nov. 21 in Nashville, Indiana, at the Brown County Music Center.
Girl Named Tom, composed of siblings Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty, made history as the only group to win on The Voice.
They have since generated more than 25 million streams with covers of “River,” “The Chain,” and “Dust in the Wind.” They also released their debut holiday EP, One More Christmas, in 2022.
“Nothing compares to the joy of the holidays, that warm fuzzy feeling of being surrounded by family and friends, and music new and old,” the trio said in a press release announcing the tour.
If that statement gives you a “warm fuzzy feeling,” you can also catch the band during a two-night stay at Goshen College’s Sauder Concert Hall, Nov. 22-23.
Jessie Murph hits colleges
The 19-year-old vocal powerhouse Jessie Murph has announced the second leg of her In the Sticks tour, as well as the release of her first full-length album, That Ain’t No Man That’s the Devil.
The album comes out Sept. 6 with the tour commencing in October, stopping in Purdue University’s Elliott Hall of Music in West Lafayette on Nov. 1, Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor on Nov. 6, and Agora Theatre in Cleveland on Nov. 8.
The album, in case you were wondering, features highly touted collaborations with Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel, and Teddy Swims that have already gotten millions of streams.
Catch Leon Bridges in Chicago
Leon Bridges has unveiled the route for his Leon Bridges: The Leon Tour this fall that will go along with his self-titled album, Leon, due out Oct. 4.
The tour includes a two-night stay at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Oct. 24-25.
Special guest Hermanos Gutiérrez is coming along on the tour and will open the shows.
Leon is described in the press release announcing the tour as Bridges’ “most poignant, powerful, and personal body of work to date” and includes the current single “Peaceful Place.”
Guster celebrate 30 years
Guster have announced they will head out on one last leg of their We Also Have Eras Tour.
The tour is billed as “a deep chronological journey through our music with skits, costume changes, and plenty of piss-poor acting.”
This will be the last chance to see this show as they visit Agora Theatre in Cleveland on Jan. 26, Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis on Jan. 28, Majestic Theatre in Detroit on Jan. 29, and Riviera Theatre in Chicago on Jan. 31.
The quirky rockers are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album and continue to support their 2024 album, Ooh La La.
Black Crowes add dates
Following Aerosmith’s sudden retirement from the road, The Black Crowes have announced they are extending their Happiness Bastards Tour (The Reprise).
The band was supporting Aerosmith on the Peace Out: The Farewell Tour, but Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler’s inability to recover from vocal damage canceled it.
The Black Crowes, therefore, have rescheduled several dates and added 14 shows, including a Sept. 27 date at the MGM Northfield Park in Northfield, Ohio, near Cleveland that precedes their previously scheduled date at the Hard Rock Arena in Cincinnati on Sept. 28. The band will also play Hard Rock Live in Gary on Oct. 18 and Hard Rock Live in Rockford, Illinois, on Oct. 25.
