The Big Surprise Tour:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PROUDLY ANNOUNCING THE BIG SURPRISE TOUR

AN OLD FASHIONED REVUE FEATURING OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW, DAVE RAWLINGS
MACHINE (FEAT. GILLIAN WELCH),

THE FELICE BROTHERS, AND JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE

Born out of a deep running comradery built on countless tours and ties
between a host of excellent musicians comes THE BIG SURPRISE TOUR, a
traveling show of epic collaboration and good times. Kicking off in Hampton
Beach, NH on August 4th, THE BIG SURPRISE TOUR is not your standard up down
up down line up.  Shows will be composed of two 90-minute sets broken up by
an intermission.  In a free form ramshackle flow the bands and artists will
share the stage, taking part in each other’s songs, resurrecting old
standards, and playing newly written collaborative material as they go.
Each evening is sure to be a unique experience as they all put their many
combined years of musicianship and knowledge of song-craft and American
music into play for these sessions.

Ketch Secor from Old Crow speaks of the special relationship these bands
have and the parts they’ve played in their own individual journey as
musicians. “Seven Years ago when Old Crow first met Dave Rawlings and
Gilllian Welch at the Station Inn in Nashville, we stayed up till dawn
singing Stan Rogers songs and playing AC/DC licks.  Three weeks later we
were making a record.  They were that rusted sign at the fork in the road
showing OCMS just where it was headed.” With the Felice Brothers as Secor
explains it, “with their rockin’ unruliness, we found where we had come from
in the first place. Music is a mobius strip, contort all ya want and you’ll
keep winding up where you started.”  Justin Townes Earle is “looking forward
to being on tour with folks that are kindred spirits. We all have similar
influences, which will be reflected in the covers we do during the show and
our collaborations on stage.”  For their part, James Felice reminisces that
they’ve “traveled around the country with Justin and Cory (of Justin Townes
Earle) playing some pretty bizarre gigs.  We couldn’t love those guys more.”
“As for Old Crow…” he says, “they cleaned us out playing dice more than
once.”  Perhaps they’ll get a chance to even the score on these dates.

Borrowing from the title of a Felice Brothers track, THE BIG SURPRISE TOUR
will live up to its namesake.  As Secor states, the audience should “expect
the unexpected!”  “Music is wild and not tame” he says, and with this tour
the artists involved hope to fully unleash the true and unpredictable spirit
of creativity.  Heaven knows that combined they have a wealth of it to draw
from.
