Phosphorescent Announce Tour, Special To Willie Performances, Share MP3

Matthew Houck - Phosphorescent
Phosphorescent are hitting the road in support of To Willie, their February 3 release on Dead Oceans. To Willie finds Phosphorescent digging into the Willie Nelson catalog, covering not classics, but deep album cuts. The songs collected on To Willie seem cracked from Phosphorescent's proprietary mold with Matthew Houck's unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent.

On February 26, Phosphorescent kicks off a U.S. tour in support of To Willie. In Brooklyn, San Francisco, Los Angeles and at a SXSW performance (to be announced), Phosphorescent will be performing the album in its entirety. Of course they will be playing selections from the album every night on tour, but wanted to give fans something special to celebrate the release of this album.

Don't forget to check out the MP3 for "Reasons to Quit," the stellar opening track from To Willie. You can download "Reasons to Quit" here.

damn, that song for download, "reasons to quit", really hits home... seriously, it's something for me to think about while I pack another fatty. One of these days, my reasons to quit will be enough to give me the will power to actually do so. Till then, I'll see you through the smoke...
