Ryan Montbleau Band Announces Fall CD Release Tour
 Ryan Montbleau Band |
Following-up their critically acclaimed debut recording One Fine Color (2006), Ryan Montbleau Band will release a new record on October 9. The date of this independent release, entitled Patience on Friday, was timed to coincide with the band's Northeast Fall Tour, which takes place throughout the month of October. Putting their time and money where their hearts are, Ryan Montbleau Band has also committed a cut of ticket sales on the Northeast Fall Tour to The Rex Foundation. This non-profit charitable organization, founded in 1983 by The Grateful Dead, has granted $8.2 million of support to over 1,000 individuals and organizations since its inception.
For Patience on Friday Ryan Montbleau Band returned to Applehead Recording, the band's home away from home on a small farm in Woodstock, NY. Tracking began in March and the band has worked diligently all year to produce an album that is rooted in the same sonic richness as One Fine Color. Dedicated to the memory of the band's longtime friend and backup drummer, Denis Babin, the new record weaves heartfelt, poignant and even somewhat humorous songs of loss and renewal, of growing up and moving on, into one cohesive collection of music. The songs range from ragtime Americana ("Eggs," "Grain of Sand"), to folk and rock croonings ("How Many Times?," "Shine On"), to modern day r&b ("Waiting," "This") and are all tied together thematically through Montbleau's lyrics.
