THE WILD FEATHERS TO JOIN BROTHERS OSBORNE FOR NORTHERN RUN IN OCTOBER
After a summer that included the launch of their new album Greetings From the Neon Frontier, national television appearances and a string of major festival performances, The Wild Feathers are looking to continue the momentum. Today the country rockers announce a run of shows with award-winning duo Brothers Osborne on their headlining tour, kicking off on October 17 in Spokane, WA. The five-date trek will take them to arenas across Canada (see below).
“We have been big fans of the Brothers Osborne for a while now, so we are extremely excited to get out on the road to play a few shows with them in the fall,” said singer-guitarist Taylor Burns. “We’ve always felt that our style and sound would complement theirs, so these should be some really great nights of music for the fans.”
En route to October, The Wild Feathers (Burns, Ricky Young, Joel King, Ben Dumas) will also join Kip Moore on previously announced dates of his After the Sunburn tour as well as a pair of shows alongside Billy Currington. Following their debut in July, the band will return to the hallowed Grand Ole Opry house on August 24. Nashville fans will have another opportunity to catch the foursome as they take the stage at Lightning 100’s Live on the Green concert event on August 30.
With brand new Greetings From the Neon Frontier tracks in tow, The Wild Feathers treat audiences to the “road music” that the Associated Press suggests “might make you step on the gas a little harder.” The recently released project has earned praise from outlets including the Rolling Stone, Parade and CMT, who definitively declared, “The Wild Feathers have returned triumphant and glorious.” As B-Sides and Badlands explained, “From beginning to end, Greetings from the Neon Frontier feels like a special, perhaps barrier-shattering, moment for the band. It’s whittled with heart and grit and is never so throwback you get lost in time. It’s woven with great care, and every syllable, guitar lick, drum pitter-patter is wrought with the purpose of moving the listener to feel something.”
The band has introduced the album’s tracks to fans both live and and over the airwaves on television and satellite radio. In July they performed standout track “Stand By You” on NBC’s TODAY with Kathie Lee and Hoda (watch HERE). They also took the tune, which has been applauded by MusicRow magazine for being “ridiculously catchy” and having “more hooks than a tuna boat,” to CBS This Morning: Saturday (watch HERE) along with “Quittin’ Time” (watch HERE) and “Big Sky” (watch HERE). The release of “Big Sky” led the breakout group to being named a “Highway Find” on SiriusXM The Highway earlier this year. The Wild Feathers are highlighting these tunes and more in their weekly “Behind the Song” series on their official YouTube channel.
