THE BELLEVILLE OUTFIT
TO TOUR SOUTHEAST BEHIND NEW RELEASE
TIME TO STAND Tour Highlights Include MerleFest & Bonnaroo
Austin, TX -- The Belleville Outfit will release on May 12 TIME TO
STAND, the second album of its signature Americana roots sound
-- a blending of swing, country, jazz, gypsy, jamgrass and blues --
and will tour the Southeast in May behind the new album.
During the tour, highlights will be a return appearance April 25 at
MerleFest in Wilkesboro, N.C., a place that figures prominently in
the Austin band's formation, and its first appearance at the
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee in June.
TIME TO STAND, produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Bil VornDick,
includes key cuts such as "Sunday Morning," "Once and for All" and
the title track, which is packed with Appalachian and bayou sound
and imagery.
Austin Monthly magazine described songs by the "adventurous
sextet" as "lively ... tunes that are equal parts Django Reinhardt,
David Grisman and Squirrel Nut Zippers" in its "Nine to Watch in
2009" feature in the March music issue.
Rob Teter (lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars), Phoebe Hunt
(lead vocals, fiddle), Jeff Brown (upright and electric bass),
Jonathan Konya (percussion, vocals), Connor Forsyth (keys, vocals)
and Marshall Hood (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals) came
together after a performance was booked at MerleFest of Teter,
Hood and Brown's former Spartanburg, S.C., band, The
DesChamps Band.
The band's debut, WANDERIN', was #23 out of the top 100 releases
for most spins in 2008 on the Americana airplay chart.
