Butch Walker brings One Man Band Tour to Raleigh

Butch Walker's summer tour schedule was conspicuously missing a date in Raleigh when it was initially announced, causing Triangle fans to cry foul on Butch's Myspace page. Raleigh is a regular stop for Butch who always draws a big crowd to his shows.

Fans can now rejoice because Butch has added a show at Lincoln Theatre to his schedule on Sunday, August 17. The tour is dubbed the One Man Band Tour and Walker has promised to play various instruments on stage during the solo set. How the set will work and what instruments he'll play has yet to be seen though. The tour doesn't kick off until July 6 in Vancouver. Jesse Malin will join Butch on the entire tour.

Tickets for the Lincoln Theatre show will go on sale June 27 at 10:00AM via etix.com. Tickets will be $14 in advance or $17 day of show.

Currently Butch Walker is producing The Films' second album, the follow-up to Don't Dance Rattlesnake. Check out some photos of the band at work Butch on The Films' blog.

Walker just released a new album titled Maya with his band 1969 earlier this year. He recorded it with drummer Darren Dodd and guitar player Michael Chislett. Walker played bass on the record. The album is available on iTunes or Amazon MP3.

And that's not all. Walker also released a live album and DVD earlier this year titled Leavin' the Game on Luckie St. It was recorded live with the Let's Go Out Tonites in his hometown, Atlanta, GA. The DVD is available via Butch's online store. The album, which features 23 tracks, is available via download from iTunes and Amazon MP3.

So as you can see, Butch is a busy fellow and that's how we like it. Check out all of the quality releases above and see you at the show in August.
