In support of their critically acclaimed, just-released 10th studio album, Northern Passages, Canadian four-piece The Sadies are set to embark on a 24-city U.S. tour with Justin Townes Earle. Beginning April 29, in Phoenix, AZ, the tour will include stops in Dallas, Austin, Cambridge, Baltimore, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, and San Francisco, among others. A full list of tour dates is below.
Released on February 10, to rave reviews, All Music hailed, “The Sadies are one of the truly great, original bands of their day.” Recorded in the basement of Dallas and Travis’ parents’ home north of Toronto over the winter of 2015, the familiar surroundings and lack of distractions resulted in a consistent feel, despite the eclecticism at the heart of The Sadies’ sound.
Recently noted by Pitchfork as an upcoming release, “Another Season Again” premiered at Popmatters, “It’s Easy (Like Walking)” featuring Kurt Vile with Consequence of Sound and “Riverview Fog” with Twangville.
The essence of The Sadies’ story can be summed up with the powerful image of the aurora borealis adorning the cover of their latest album, Northern Passages. Ever since the quartet, comprised of singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Belitsky, first arrived on the North American scene 20 years ago, their music has never been less than awe-inspiring, with no embellishment necessary.
