The Growlers To Rumble Into Fall

That’s not to say the band is ignoring the night club circuit until the leaves start falling off of the trees. With a June schedule including festivals such as Bonnaroo and Wakarusa, The Growlers will also play clubs in places such as Taos, N.M.; Norman, Okla., and Asheville, N.C.; capping the June run with three nights at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall.

The Growlers’ tour supports 2014’s Chinese Fountain, an album that’s earned the quintet much praise, with Entertainment Weekly describing the band’s sound as “a combination of chiming, reverb-drenched guitars, snappy drums, and frontman Brooks Nielsen’s languid vocals, which suggests a guy who never takes his shades off, even indoors.”

After playing Ottawa’s RBC Bluesfest and European festivals like Norway’s Bukta Open Air and Spain’s Low, the band launches its autumn club in the U.S. with two nights in Las Vegas.  Here’s the rundown:
