Dawes and Blitzen Trapper Release Free Tour Sampler EP for Upcoming Fall Tour

Written by  Published in Previews Monday, 08 August 2011 11:45

I find I encounter this issue frequently:  I am going to a concert, and I range from vaguely familiar with to wholeheartedly obsessed with one of the bands, and am completely clueless about the opener or headliner or co-headliner or whatever other band.  So here's a novel idea--a tour sampler featuring glimpses of the bands playing to give curious listeners an idea of what to expect.  Other bands, take note, because what Dawes and Blitzen Trapper have done here is fantastic, and, in my opinion, immensely helpful in deciding on a concert.  Their free sampler EP requires an email address for immediate download, and then six tracks of folk-infused, sad-eyed pop-rock is at your fingertips.  Download and enjoy.

Also, check out their full tour schedule here (scroll to the bottom).

Claire Gallagher

Claire Gallagher is from Las Vegas, Nevada.  She grew up under blinking signs for Girls, Girls, Girls! and she hummed to the clanky sounds of slot machines in casinos and grocery stores and airports.   She now attends school at UCLA and is becoming very intimately acquainted with the kick-ass music scene Los Angeles so sweetly provides. When Claire is not on the back of a horse or playing with her pet snake, Skittles, she is listening to music, eating orange chicken, or spinning around in her rolly chair.  She is fond of tyrannosaurus rexes, John Steinbeck, and the fleeting feeling of post-concert deafness.  You can check her out on tumblr as well.
