If you’re a frequent reader of CoS, you’ll know there are a few bands that get us really excited, like to the point where we’re jumping for joy when they announce tour dates. Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears can be considered one of these bands; news of their upcoming North American tour with both Lucero and the New York Dolls caused us to do some hardcore jumping. Ok, enough with the Fox News-esque love affair journalism. On to the details…
In support of the recently released Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is!, Black Joe Lewis and his bluesy septet have launched a two-month North American tour which sees them serving as openers for the now MTV-approved Lucero and the recently reunited New York Dolls, along with a couple stops at some of the summer’s latter festivals.
