Today, Hamilton Leithauser, frontman of The Walkmen, has announced additional headlining tour dates in May of this year, including show at the famed Third Man Records’ Blue Room in Nashville. These dates will follow his seventh annual residency at Cafe Carlyle. For tickets and more information, click here.
The upcoming tour will follow the artist’s March 7 release of This Side of The Island. Co-produced by Leithauser, Aaron Dessner and his wife Anna Stumpf, the album boldly turns away from the folk-rock vibes of his two previous records, I Had a Dream That You Were Mine and The Loves of Your Life. The upcoming album introduces a groovier, bass-heavy and modern sound that showcases Leithauser’s unrelenting optimism and biting humor, amongst a polarized social and political world.
Best known for his evocative lyricism, quick wit and distinctive voice, Leithauser has been a significant force in rock ‘n’ roll since the early 2000s New York City scene by transitioning smoothly from his band’s successes to a flourishing solo career.
