J. Roddy Walston & The Business Announce New Fall U.S. Tour

Richmond, VA's J. Roddy Walston & The Business have announced a new fall US tour today, including dates in Columbus, Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles and more. Their upcoming fourth studio album is also slated for fall 2017. The band's forthcoming studio album came to life in their own Richmond, VA recording studio, a space they built by hand in 2016. The new LP, slated for a fall 2017 release was finished in Seattle with co-producer Phil Ek (Band of Horses, The Walkmen, Built To Spill). Listen to the new single "The Wanting" HERE.

"I personally fell in love with writing music again," Walston explained. "It took awhile but once I realized I had room to try things that I had never tried before, I became addicted to the process." He elaborated further by explaining how "The Wanting" describes the relationship of an estranged father and son: "Even though it is a dark song with a brutal ending, I find hope and beauty in the idea of these two people that had a shared sense of both regret and longing for each other."

In the fall of 2013 J. Roddy Walston & The Business's underground rock 'n roll rose to the surface with the release of the LP Essential Tremors. They also rocked featured TV performances on Late Night with David Letterman, Conan and an Austin City Limits episode which they shared with The Black Keys. All upcoming tour dates are listed below.
