DOWNLOAD: Spirit Family Reunion – “I Want To Be Relieved” (MP3)
Brooklyn old-time folkies Spirit Family Reunion will release their debut album, No Separation, on June 15. Steeped in the sound of old midwestern country and bluegrass and the rowdiness of other revival bands like The Felice Brothers and Deer Tick, Spirit Family Reunion fit right in with the bands they’ll be sharing the stage with at this year’s Newport Folk Festival. You can stream three tracks below and download a new one, “I Want to Be Relieved,” which is making its premiere in this post above.
Spirit Family Reunion are playing a free show in NYC TONIGHT (5/14) at Living Room. It’s their last local show before they hit the road for the next month, returning for a record release show with Hurray for the Riff Raff on June 15 at Mercury Lounge, the day that No Separation comes out. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show go on sale Friday (5/18) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (5/16) at noon. They’ve also got another free show coming up as part of Celebrate Brooklyn at Prospect Park on August 4 with bluegrass vets The Del McCoury Band and revivalist duo Cahalen Morrison and Eli West.
