Powerhouse soul septet St. Paul & The Broken Bones has announced a fall U.S. tour following their August/September European run. See a complete list of tour dates HERE. The momentum for the Birmingham, AL ensemble continues to build on the heels of their debut album Half The City (released February 18), which has sold over 40k copies to date. Their single “Call Me” is currently the iTunes Single of the Week, with over 100k downloads thus far. The track is just beginning to pick up speed by cracking the top 10 at AAA radio. St. Paul & The Broken Bones are nominated for the 2014 Emerging Act Of The Year by the Americana Music Association.
This week, St. Paul & the Broken Bones performed an electrifying version “Don’t Mean A Thing” on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as the tracks “Like A Mighty River” and “Call Me”, which appeared on the show’s website. View all three performances HERE. The following evening, the band played to a raucous crowd at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre. Venues are growing in size as the band continues to convert believers with their mesmerizing and sweat-soaked live shows, including a performance in front of over 10k at Bonnaroo the week prior. Paste named St. Paul & The Broken Bones the “#1 Artist to Know” at this year’s festival, saying, “[Paul] Janeway’s got a voice and a sweat-soaked stage presence that will make even new listeners feel like they grew up with his music.”
With press ranging from NPR Morning Edition, USA Today and Relix to Southern Living, CMT Edge and Esquire, the acclaim continues to build as more and more catch on. Their recent performances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (view HERE) and CBS Saturday Morning (view HERE) are prime examples of why.
