SANDY, Utah, Nov. 19, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — Indie rock band Peach Pit and alternative rocker Briston Maroney have announced a North American tour, “Long Hair, Long Life,” with a June 3 stop at the Sandy Amphitheater.
Indie rock band Bnny will join the acts on all dates.
Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, Nov. 20, through artist presales, and general sales will begin at noon local time Thursday through LiveNation.com.
Peach Pit’s most recent album, “Magpie,” was released last month via Columbia Records, and in the first week found itself amongst the top 10 selling vinyl albums. The LP offers expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting, a statement issued by tour producer Live Nation says.
“The 11 songs captured on ‘Magpie’ find the quartet — lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi — diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own. Known for their legendary live show, featuring plenty of stage diving and guitar solos, ‘Magpie’ captures a glimpse of that same energy.”
Of the tour, Smith said “We couldn’t be more excited for this upcoming 2025 NA tour with our good friend Briston Maroney. It’s our biggest tour ever and we’re playing some really crazy venues, places like Red Rocks in Colorado that I honestly never really thought were in the cards for us. It freaks me out that we somehow managed to go from rehearsing in Chris’ bedroom 10 years ago to venues like The Greek in LA and Pier 17 in New York. 2014 Peach Pit would be tripping out right now.”
Maroney, 26, spent his childhood in Tennessee and Florida, and settled in Nashville, “cutting his teeth playing house shows and winning over fans one living room at a time, which led Maroney to his first record deal with Atlantic Records,” the Live Nation news release says.
Maroney unveiled his debut full-length album, Sunflower, in April of 2021 accompanied by a visual album directed by long-time collaborator Joey Brodnax. In 2022, he headlined his first tour, and the next year, released his second album, “Ultrapure.”
Maroney’s catalog has amassed over 700 million global streams across all platforms and he has made his television debuts on “CBS Saturday Morning” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
