Communion Announce 'Austin to Bostin' Tour

in , , , ,

Even though my SXSW status is still tentative, I'm buying a ticket for Communion's 'Austin to Bostin' tour. They're getting Ben Howard, the Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Bear's Den to hop in VW campers and cross the eastern half of the United States--and they're filming the whole thing. I'm glad Marcus Haney is documenting the tour, but I'd rather catch it live; this stellar lineup makes my SXSW envy hit a new high.

This festival is the place to see up-and-coming bands, and I have no doubt that these four acts are just that. So check out the dates below, and secure your spot at what's sure to be a fantastic gig. And hopefully I'll see you in Austin!
