2012 IS HERE! WEST COAST TOUR, NPR & NEW ALBUM
Buxter Hoot'n, the Bay Area Indie Americana rock outfit hailed as "one of the great American bands today" (Relix) and "guardians of what Gram Parsons famously termed 'Cosmic American Music'" (Dirty Impound), extends its 5th anniversary tour in January with a West Coast swing behind its acclaimed self-titled third album.
A national radio audience will get a live tour preview on NPR when the band performs January 7, 2012 on Sedge Thomson's West Coast Live from the David Brower Center in Berkeley, CA, prior to their tour warm-up that night at San Francisco's Café du Nord. Check local listings or listen to the live stream at kalw.org
Following a fall trek through the Midwest, the 2nd leg takes Buxter Hoot'n from the Pacific Northwest through Southern California, officially launching January 18 at the Sunset Tavern in Seattle, and winding up Jan. 28 at the Uptown Nightclub in Oakland, CA.
Other stops include Los Angeles; Portland, OR; Eugene, OR; Santa Cruz, CA; and a hometown concert in San Francisco (Jan. 25), where the SF Weekly elevated the band to "a classier plain of Americana among the likes of Bob Dylan and The National and Counting Crows from back when they were good."
After the tour, the band will head for Chicago to record their fourth album, due for a summer release.
