The Milk Carton Kids Announces Fall Headline Tour
“We’re very excited for this tour, having been assured that none of the rooms we’re playing will have beer fridges that are louder than the PA,” Joey Ryan said.
Ryan and his partner in crime, Kenneth Pattengale, have moved up to bigger venues thanks to word of mouth, the power of the indie folk act’s live show and rave reviews from publications and folks like Garrison Keillor, who says, “The Milk Carton Kids are absolute geniuses in close harmony and pick up where the Everly Brothers left off.”
The Milk Carton Kids’ new album, Monterey, is due out May 19. The LP was recorded on the road last year on stages of theaters and churches across North America to capture the energy of the live show.
