Carbon Leaf to Launch Summer Tour this Weekend in Pennsylvania

Carbon Leaf returns to the road in support of their current album, GHOST DRAGON ATTACKS CASTLE. Listen and share "She's Gone (...for good this time)" at https://soundcloud.com/carbonleaf/04-shes-gone-for-good-this.

Blending Folk, Celtic, Bluegrass, Americana, Rock and Pop traditions into their own sound, Carbon Leaf has built their loyal fanbase through solid music releases and energetic live shows. The five-man band's steadfast arrangement of guitar, bass, drums, and mandolin is rounded out with more exotic instruments, like the bouzouki, fiddle, accordion and penny whistle, all tied together with some gang harmonies and lead singer Barry Privett's bold, straightforward voice.

The band is currently in their hometown of Richmond, VA working on another album in their recording space at Two-Car Studio, and prepping for a September release behind a 40-city US tour starting in October. More details will be announced shortly.

This will mark Carbon Leaf's first crowd-funded album campaign through PledgeMusic, where fans can participate by pledging in exchange for merchandise and band/fan interactive experiences. If the band meets their goal, then 15% of money raised thereafter will go towards LOVE HOPE STRENGTH, their charity of choice for this campaign. Based in Denver, CO, LHS is a non-profit that raises funds and awareness for various cancers through unique music programs and hiking trips world-wide.

Carbon Leaf debuted as an independent college band in 1993, eventually leading to a recording contract with Vanguard Records in 2004, resulting in three albums during their six years with the label. Along the way, Carbon Leaf scored hit singles at AAA and Hot AC Radio with "Life Less Ordinary" and "The Boxer." The band placed first in the International Songwriting Competition for "The War Was In Color" and was the first independent band to ever win an American Music Award for the "The Boxer" in 2002. In 2010, Carbon Leaf wrote six songs for the Curious George 2 soundtrack (Universal Pictures).
