Sanders Bohlke to Play the Bowery Ballroom, 7/13; Joins Rachael Yamagata on Tour

Sanders Bohlke has announced that he'll be the special guest and opening act on Rachael Yamagata's Dealbreaker Heart Tour 2013. He is supporting his new album, "Ghost Boy," released in February via Communicating Vessels.

The tour will hit most major North American markets, and began on May 28 in Ithaca, NY, traveling across the United States and Canada before wrapping at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, NY on July 13. To complement the large-scale tour undertaking, Bohlke will also release a special 5-song EP, which will be available digitally and at shows.

Inspired by a wintertime retreat to the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, "Ghost Boy" chronicles the isolation that creeps in when the days get shorter and you're further and further removed from society. This may seem difficult to translate to stage, but Bohlke has already seen quite a lot of positive feedback from the road testing of these songs, with Glide Magazine claiming, "Between the complexity of his music, meaningful lyrics, serene guitar style, Bohlke truly demonstrates in a live setting why he deserves recognition. On this night, even as an opening act, the sheer emotion behind his songs captured the ears of a group of strangers and left them stupefied, shouting for more."

A limited edition vinyl edition of "Ghost Boy" will be released soon, but until then the record is available on CD and digitally.
