Sanders Bohlke Kicks Off Fall 2013 Tour Dates With Gregory Alan Isakov, Aoife O'Donovan
By: BWW News Desk Sep. 21, 2013
Sanders Bohlke confirms support dates for a run of fall shows with Gregory Alan Isakov and Aoife O'Donovan. The trek covers markets throughout the Midwest / Southeast US and comes after a lengthy tour as special guest on Rachael Yamagata's "Dealbreaker Heart Tour 2013."Bohlke is currently touring in support of Ghost Boy, his new album out on Communicating Vessels, an up-and-coming label run by Jeffrey Cain (of Remy Zero fame) out of Birmingham, AL. He also just debuted a music video for new single "Serious" on The Huffington Post."The video was shot in Jackson, Mississippi, by a friend of mine, Robby Piantanida," explains Bohlke. "It was amazing because we sort of had an idea and just shot what we could in an afternoon. The other basketball player, Frank, just happened to be at the park, so we asked him to be in it. A lot of credit goes to Azod Abedikichi, the editor, for taking this beautiful footage and really capturing the loneliness going on in the song." Watch the video for Serious here.
Inspired by a wintertime retreat to the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, Ghost Boychronicles 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."Sanders Bohlke - Tour Dates 2013:
