The Round Table

Hipsters rejoice! Sondre Lerche is hitting the road this fall in support of his new album, Heart Beat Radio. Lerche announced his U.S. tour dates via his Twitter profile , his website, and in conjunction with a Billboard article, much to the delight of his faithful following.(myself included!)

The tour kicks off September 5th in Philadelphia, Pa. and ends September 30th in Vancouver. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, July 10th. He also plans to tour Europe in October, dates have yet to be released.

Due September 8th, Heart Beat Radio is Lerche’s first album since working on the Dan in Real Life soundtrack/musical score. If you can, see Sondre perform at a city near you, you won’t regret it. Tour dates after the cut!

This past weekend, a few friends and I piled in a jeep and trekked to  North Carolina for a brief escape from the daily grind. We received a tip that one of my favorite indie artists, Tony Lucca, was performing at The Evening Muse in downtown Charlotte on July 4th with another group called The Benjy Davis Project so we figured we catch the show.

Since we’re always in search of good, new music, we arrived early to watch The Benjy Davis Project who opened for Tony. We were very impressed as we were treated  to a flawless set, which began with Benjy Davis performing a few acoustic numbers solo. He was later joined by his backing band including Mic Capdevielle (drums), Matt Rusnak (bass guitar), and Jonathan Lawhun (electric guitar).
