Roman Candle Hitting The Road with Alejandro Escovedo

Today Roman Candle announced new January tour dates in support of Alejandro Escovedo. The tour will take the Nashville-by-way-of-Chapel Hill band throughout the southeast, beginning January 15th at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC, and wrapping up January 23rd at Headliners in Louisville, KY.

Roman Candle's third album Oh Tall Tree in the Ear was released May 12th by Carnival Recording Company. Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus and Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll, the smart, lyrical album is a loose meditation on the connection between music and longing, full of hooks and impassioned vocals.

Oh Tall Tree... has been earning the band some of the best reviews of their young career, with USA Today declaring, "...These are simply witty, sturdily built and charming pop/rock tunes that owe their debt to Wilco, The Jayhawks, Ryan Adams, perhaps even My Morning Jacket. That's great company, and these songs should accompany you on summer road trips." Summer is over, but Roman Candle will continue to warm up and keep fans company on these winter dates...
