Known for Jay Buchanan’s unparalleled voice, the band’s fuzzed out riffs, and bold melodies, Rival Sons have built a large and loyal fanbase through relentless touring. Buchanan recently told Rolling Stone, “Having traveled so much and played with so many different bands, I’ve been able to see that there’s a bridge between these subgenres,” and the newly announced spring dates aim to further bridge that gap with the scorched blues of Reignwolf, the southern soul of The War and Treaty, and the unapologetic grit of JJ Wilde. In addition to the spring dates, Rival Sons are also set to perform at Gasparilla Music Festival in Tampa, FL (3/17) alongside Brandi Carlisle and Portugal. The Man, as well as at Panama City Beach, FL’s Sandjam (4/24) with Weezer, White Reaper, and Strand of Oaks. Following the U.S. dates, Rival Sons will embark on a six-week European arena / stadium tour with Aerosmith.
