The Sadies Team with Justin Townes Earle for National Tour
The Sadies are the mod country band from Canada offering some of the most strikingly rich soundscapes in all of roots music. Justin Townes Earle is the second generation songwriter from alt-country royal blood who’s made a legacy all his own. And they have joined forces to tout new albums on a tour that started in California earlier this week, and will be rapping up early summer in San Diego.
Collaborating or touring with The Sadies is almost like a right of passage in alt-country, with Neko Case, Jon Langford, Jon Doe, The Mekons, and many others proudly incorporating brothers Dallas and Travis Good’s services in their tours and music over the years. The Sadies are currently touring their 2017 album Northern Passages released in February.
Justin Townes Earle has his own new music coming out. Kids in the Street will be released May 26th via New West Records, and numerous tracks from the record have already been released, including “Champagne Corolla” and “Faded Valentine.” Both acts are also performed at California’s prestigious Stagecoach Festival this weekend, with The Sadies joining Justin Townes Earle for his afternoon set.

The Sadies are one of my favorite live bands. Red hot guitar playing and old fashion showmanship. They always put on a good show and seem to be relentless collaborators, which keeps it interesting. Love these guys.

Fans of The Sadies should check out the album they did with Gordon Downie from The Tragically Hip.
Amazing.

Man, I’d loved to a show on this tour, as I’m a fan of both, but Baltimore is the only close to viable option and that’s too far (and probably too late) for me on a “school night.”

This guy (Jesper Lindell) will open for Justin Townes Earle in Sweden:

Hey Trig, Dallas and Travis Good are second generation music royalty also, up here in Canada. Their dad Bruce Good and his brothers Larry and Brian Good are the driving force of the classic and well loved Country/Bluegrass band The Good Brothers. The Good Brothers turned a lot of young Canadian kids onto bluegrass and good old country back in the ’70s and ’80s.
