Phosphorescent playing 'To Willie' Nelson - 2009 tour dates

DOWNLOAD: Phosphorescent – Reasons to Quit (Willie Nelson) (MP3)

PhosphorescentAs previously mentioned, Phosphorescent‘s new album is all Willie Nelson covers.

Phosphorescent are hitting the road in support of To Willie, their February 3 release on Dead Oceans. To Willie finds Phosphorescent digging into the Willie Nelson catalog, covering not classics, but deep album cuts. The songs collected on To Willie seem cracked from Phosphorescent’s proprietary mold with Matthew Houck’s unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent.

On February 26, Phosphorescent kicks off a US tour in support of To Willie. In Brooklyn, San Francisco, Los Angeles and at a SXSW performance (to be announced), Phosphorescent will be performing the album in its entirety. Of course they will be playing selections from the album every night on tour, but wanted to give fans something special to celebrate the release of this album.

The NYC show that Phos is performing the the full album at, is the previously-announced February 28th Bell House show that is still on sale. Stay tuned for more details on the SXSW show.
