INCLUDES NEW SONGS TO BE FEATURED ON ABC’S ‘OCTOBER ROAD’
As Ryan & The Cards begin another long stretch of tour dates, they have also announced plans for a new EP to be released Oct 23 on Lost Highway Records. Follow The Lights is a seven song collection that includes both new and old compositions, several of which were recorded live in the studio this summer.
The two new songs on the disc, “Follow The Lights” and “My Love For You Is Real” will both be featured prominently in this fall’s season of the ABC primetime drama “October Road” (airing 10pm on Mondays). “Follow The Lights” will also be used in bumpers leading up to the show’s season premiere on November 26th. The complete sequence for Follow The Lights is:
1. Follow The Lights (new song)
2. My Love For You Is Real (new song)
3. Blue Hotel (first official release, recorded live in studio)
4. Dear John (live in studio)
5. This Is It (Cardinals version, live in studio)
6. Down In A Hole (Alice In Chains cover, live in studio)
7. If I Am A Stranger (live in studio)
Follow The Lights comes on the heels of Ryan’s latest full length album Easy Tiger, which has been widely recognized as some of his finest work to date. The Associated Press described it as “the most cohesive and intricately arranged album [Adams] has ever made”, and Time called it “a career breakthrough.” Since Easy Tiger’s release Ryan & The Cards have been on the road almost constantly, and as Variety recently put it, “[Adams is] probably giving the best performances of his career.”
Full tour itinerary is below. For more information on the tour, Easy Tiger, and Follow The Lights contact Steve Martin or Eliot Wadsworth at nasty little man.
