Last year Trashcan Sinatras released their excellent 6th studio album Wild Pendulum, then toured the U.S. in support of the record. Today they announced that in celebration of their 30th anniversary they'll head out on the road as a three piece for a career-spanning acoustic tour.
On each stop of the All Night With The Trashcan Sinatras tour (excluding the NYC date), Frank Reader, Paul Livingston, and John Douglas will perform two unique sets featuring beloved/well-known songs as well as covers, obscurities, songs they've never performed live, and songs they'll likely never again play live. Over the course of the tour every song they've released and recorded will be performed (the set list will vary from show to show -- they will not be playing 100 songs each night!)
All Night With The Trashcan Sinatras includes a Detroit area stop at the Magic Bag in Ferndale on October 8th. Tickets go on sale August 7th at 10am. View the full itinerary below and catch up with Trashcan Sinatras here.
Frank Reader:
"Now that we've reached a century of songs it feels like a good time to meet up with them all again, like a high school reunion...Those songs whose love and friendship we've nourished over the years will no doubt turn up most nights and show us why we've remained so close over the years, but it'll be most interesting to see how those with whom we've lost touch have aged."
John Douglas:
"We will be playing some songs live that we have never attempted before, so in some ways, it's a tightrope walk for us. But, these songs are what we have done with our lives, so I accept the challenge and will try to not look down."
Paul Livingston:
"Touring with no rhythm section means you have to take your cues more from the vocal. You can bend time and create space for the emotion of the song to come through."
