the Delta Spirit 'Bushwick Blues' video premiere + tour dates

DOWNLOAD: Delta Spirit – Bushwick Blues (MP3)
The Delta Spirit‘s second record, History From Below, came out earlier in June on Rounder Records. If you order it at Amazon, you get an exclusive bonus track.
That album’s “Bushwick Blues” (which you can get above) was debuted here in May…and now there’s video to accompany the impassioned lost-love tune. Though there’s no audience at the session, recorded at Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, CA, singer Matt Vazquez has no problem throwing himself into the song’s romantic vortex. Somewhere around the two-minute mark the band seems to collectively fixate on the inevitability of the words, recharging for the final heartrending thrust a minute later.
The band has a pair of NYC shows coming up, at Bowery Ballroom on June 30th and Music Hall of Williamsburg on July 1st, both with Ezra Furman & the Harpoons and The Romany Rye. The first night of that is sold out but tickets for the second at MHOW are on sale.
Those shows are part of a larger tour for the band that continues all the way to California. All tour dates and the video are below…
