Lonesome Shack Summer 2013 US Tour

Arrow Thin Left Icon

Lonesome Shack is the moniker Ben Todd has applied to his trio of folk-blues troops. They’ve been marching to a steady beat for about six years now, belting out three LPs and an EP in something like record time and following them up with five tours, two of them nationwide.

Their latest offering: City Man, a mesmerizing and highly rhythmic blues record. It manages to give its songs a strong sense of urgency and technical excellence without losing any of its bluesy atmosphere, which it has in spades. It’s a hypnotic listen, assured and airtight in every way. What makes this all the more amazing is that the album was recorded live in one evening.

To keep you on your toes, the Shack has decided to hit the road this july and august, covering a vast swath of the Midwest and touching base on the East Coast and the South before working their way back toward home. Specifically, the tour looks like this:
