Leland Sundries: 1st National Tour
By Team JamBase Jun 13, 2011 • 9:16 am PDT
“Leland Sundries, a band from New York led by Nick Loss-Eaton, is dedicated to storytelling in a way that recalls Woody Guthrie and his Folkways brethren. [Its] scrappy Americana will get you longing for empty two-lane highways and kudzu-encased back porches.” – The New York Times
Following a run opening for Todd Snider, indie-folk project Leland Sundries is preparing for its first national tour, hitting many towns for the first time. Leland Sundries will perform solo acoustic on the tour with harmonicas and kazoo.
The Brooklyn-based band earned considerable acclaim for its recorded debut, last year’s ‘The Apothecary EP’ (L’Echiquier Records). JamBase called it “one of the freshest debuts in ‘10” while My Old Kentucky Blog pegged it as “what Lou Reed would sound like if he was asked to front Tom Waits’ Mule Variations band… highly recommended to fans of Leonard Cohen.” The Boston Phoenix said, “Leland Sundries singer/picker Nick Loss-Eaton’s the-Band-meets-Lou-Reed approach mates gnawing electric guitar and old-time acoustic six-string, banjo, and harmonica melodies with dry-witted, drawling, modern-day ennui.”
