OUTFORMATION - HALLOWEEN & NEW YEAR'S SHOWS
HALLOWEEN 2 SPECIAL LATE NIGHT SHOWS IN NEW ORLEANS / NYE 2008 3 NIGHTS IN CHARLESTON, SC

Outformation
Fresh out of Mitch Easter's studio (Co-producer of R.E.M.'s Murmer and Reckoning albums) and armed with an arsenal of new songs, Outformation is ready to rock. Atlanta-based Outformation started out as a trio in 2002 with guitarist Sam Holt (guitar tech for the late, great, Michael Houser), bassist Grady Upchurch, and New Orleans drummer-singer Lee Schwartz. In 2006, Outformation added keyboardist CR Gruver and percussionist Jeff "Birdogg" Lane to the lineup, taking the music to another level.

This fruitful devotion led Outformation to release their second full-length album, Traveler's Rest, in August of 2007, their first recording as a five-piece band. Although the title track "Traveler's Rest" was a collaboration with Widespread Panic, this album presents Outformation as a maturing band focused on their own signature sound.

The hard work and dedication is paying off for Outformation, playing over 130 shows a year nationwide including festival appearances at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Wakarusa, High Sierra, 10KLF, Hookahville, and All Good Festival, among others. This year Outformation is pleased to announce their two-night run in New Orleans for Halloween, and an intimate three-night stand at The Pour House in Charleston, SC for New Year's! Until then, you can catch Outformation on the move this fall, where they plan to unveil the new material and release their first DVD.

sleewell - after consecutive years of dec30/nye shows in ATL (since 1996), i think it's safe to say that they'll be playing NYE in.. ATL.

but if for some reason it's in denver... I'll be there.

Panic is in Denver for NYE. They are going to ATL during fall tour. STS9 is a way better plan that Panic for NYE. I have done both multiple times and STS9 is better.

CR Gruver (Outformation keyboardist) is hands down one of the best out there. You absolutely have to check them out, if anything, just to watch his magic.

^^^wow jimmystewart420, i thought jam band fans were more open minded. i can't believe you openly admit to being a racist. i'm even more surprised your screenname isn't bisco420 or something like that. umphrey's mcgee is ashamed to have you as a fan. as well, if you are a supporter of "420" you might want to vote Obama, McCain isn't very pot friendly...dumbass
