Tour Dates | theNEWDEAL Fall Tour

Canadian jamtronica trio theNEWDEAL have just announced a fall tour. The trio of keyboardist Jamie Shields, bassist Dan Kurtz and drummer Joel Stouffer will play 21 shows in 19 cities including six festival sets (one yet to be announced), 11 headlining shows, two co-headlining dates with BoomBox for Halloween and two more appearances to be announced in July.

theNEWDEAL begin September with a pair of festival appearances before heading to Colorado for shows in Bellvue and Denver. On September 24, the trio will team with Marco Benevento at Empire Garage in Austin, Texas and then will play twice at Taloa Music Festival in Guthrie, Oklahoma. It’s back to the road for theNEWDEAL at the end of October as the group will return to the Northeast for performances in Syracuse, Clifton Park, New Haven and NYC. The band is currently slated to end the tour with six November shows including visits to Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, Bloomington, Urbana and Chicago.

The trio’s fall tour marks their first major US tour since returning to the circuit last year. There’s also word theNEWDEAL will issue a studio release this fall which Kurtz describes as their “most creative” endeavor to date. “In the last few months we’ve been pushing ourselves to work with new sounds, new styles, new ways of arranging jams, and the stuff we’ve come up with has felt great and exciting to us as a result. We’re listening back to the board tapes of all the shows and finding the parts, even if they’re just a couple of seconds long, that sound the most inspiring and then building studio recordings around them. In some cases we’ll glue a bit from one show in one city to another completely unrelated piece from another town, and create something we’d never have come up with in either just a live or just a studio setting,” Kurtz said.

Keyboardist Jamie Shields agrees: “I think we’ve come up with a way to take the best from both the live and studio worlds and make something that’s going to have the energy of a live show, but shaped in a way we could only do in the studio. theNEWDEAL has always been about development. When we’re performing on stage our goal is always to create a fresh musical idea and see in real-time how we can develop it – melodically, harmonically and structurally. Because we approach every show with an improvisational mindset, we know that every night brings a different concert, a different vibe and a different audience experience. Even with all those variables, it always ends up sounding like a New Deal show; exciting, driving and incredibly danceable!”

Preview the new release by streaming “Mercury Switch” and “Sabotage The System” via the band’s SoundCloud page.
