Girl Talk Announces First North American Tour Dates in Eight Years with Spring 2020 Tour Dates

Pittsburgh DJ Gregg Gills, better known as Girl Talk, will be embarking on tour in North America for the first time in 8 years this upcoming spring. The mashup master will be kicking things off on April 29th in Cleveland, and will play nearly 20 shows before finishing up at New York’s Governors Ball festival on June 7th.

Girl Talk has not toured since finishing up the rounds after the release of his 2010 album All Day. He rose to prominence in the mid to late 2000’s through his catchy matchups that largely comprised his first 2 studio albums Night Ripper and Feed the Animals, released in 2006 and 2008 respectively.

Although Gills has not released any new music as Girl talk in some time, he has worked as a record producer with some of hip hop’s biggest names. Artists who have collaborated with Gills include Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Tory Lanez, Freeway, Young Nudy, Bas, Cozz, Erick the Architect (of Flatbush Zombies), Smoke DZA and Don Q.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
