Event Description

Following the April 7th release of their first LP of original songs in eight years ‘Modern Blues,’ The Waterboys have confirmed an extensive North American tour. Waterboys founder/frontman Mike Scott will be joined by legendary Muscle Shoals bassist David Hood (in his first tour since playing with Traffic in 1972), soul deep Texas guitarist Zach Ernst (Black Joe Lewis, The Relatives), drummer Ralph Salmins (Van Morrison), longtime Waterboys fiddler Steve Wickham, and Memphis keyboardist “Brother” Paul Brown. “Modern Blues” was released in the UK in January to raves. The Telegraph gave the record 5 stars, declaring, “Scott is the closest thing we have to a Neil Young in British music.” “People should expect the unexpected from The Waterboys,” says Mike Scott, a grin in his voice. It’s a mission statement which has inspired three decades of compelling musical shape-shifting, and one which yields thrilling results on The Waterboys’ magnificent eleventh album. The Farquhar Auditorium is pleased to be hosting, May 20th, as part of this tour.
