White Denim will kick off their touring schedule with a show at Austin’s C-Boys tonight as the group moves towards the release of their latest record Stiff, due out March 25.
Today, guitarist and vocalist James Petralli took to the band’s Facebook page to address a few lineup changes for the group moving forward, most notably the announcement that drummer Josh Block and guitarist Austin Jenkins have left the group to pursue other projects. Block and Jenkins have recently spent time working with Leon Bridges.
Petralli also noted that Jeffrey Olson and Jonathan Horne will join the group along with multi-instrumentalist Mike St. Clair. “We are really excited to play new tunes and arrangements of our oldies for you starting tonight,” Petralli said. “These dudes are monstrous players and we feel very fortunate and inspired at the moment.”
Read the full message from Petralli below.
Hey Everybody,
I am writing today to let you know that Josh Block and Austin Jenkins left our group to pursue other projects back in March of 2015. Since that time Steve and I have been working closely with Jeffrey Olson and Jonathan Horne and we recently welcomed multi instrumentalist Mike St. Clair into the group. We are really excited to play new tunes and arrangements of our oldies for you starting tonight at our first public performance at C-Boys and even more shows in the coming months. These dudes are monstrous players and we feel very fortunate and inspired at the moment.
Hope to see you soon.
James
