The Joy Formidable Add Tour Dates In Support Of Hitch, Out Now

 THE JOY FORMIDABLE ADD NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF RECENT RELEASE, HITCH, OUT NOW Welsh trio The Joy Formidable are touring in support of their recently released album Hitch, outvia their own record label C'Mon Lets Drift in partnership with Caroline (US), Orchard/ Membran (Europe) and MapleMusic (Canada.)  The fantastic live band went to work on their third studio album with one mission: to make sure their unique live performance and energy was captured on record.  "We realized we needed to build a space and do it ourselves, go back to being three people in a room again" said Ritzy Bryan regarding the band's decision to self-produce the new album. Following suit with their decision to take the reigns on this album, The Joy Formidable chose to "work with people who feel as strong as we do about the music, who listen to albums, love the art and let that take control."  One such early supporter was the legendary Alan Moulder (The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, etc;) who mixed the album. The band states "on this album, we've been lucky enough to feel that same enthusiasm from everyone involved." The band are excited to share that they've added several North American summer dates, with full dates listed below.  Regarding a recent performance: "...witnessing the return of the North Wales trio was as close to rock 'n' roll nirvana as you are likely to get." In addition to their powerful live show, the band will be offering fans a chance to attend a meet and greet and intimate, acoustic performance before doors. LIVE DATES:4/5/2016 Minneapolis, MN @ First Avenue4/6/2016 Chicago, IL @ Double Door4/7/2016 Iowa City, IA @ Mission Creek Festival4/8/2016 Nashville, TN @ Mercy Lounge4/10/2016 Pittsburgh, PA @ Mr Small's Theater4/12/2016 Boston, MA @ Paradise Rock Club4/13/2016 Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club4/14/2016 New York, NY @ Irving Plaza4/15/2016 Philadelphia, PA @ Underground Arts5/29/2016 Reno, NV           @ Cargo @ The Whitney6/4/2016 Portsmouth, NH @ 3S Artspace6/6/2016 Cleveland, OH @            The Grog Shop6/7/2016 Indianapolis, IN @ Deluxe @ Old National6/8/2016 Louisville, KY @ Mercury Ballroom6/9/2016 Grand Rapids, MI @ Founder's Ballroom6/10/2016 Cincinnati, OH @ Fountain Square6/11/2016 St. Louis, MO @ The Ready Room6/14/2016 Ferndale, MI @ The Magic Bag6/15/2016 Toronto, ON @ The Mod Club / NXNE6/17/2016 Quebec City, QC           @ Le Cercle6/18/2016 Montreal, QC @ Theatre Fairmount6/19/2016 Ottawa, ON @ Ritual7/19/2016 Phoenix, AZ @ Crescent Ballroom7/20/2016 San Diego, CA @ The Irenic7/21/2016 Fresno, CA @ Strummer's7/22/2016 Sacramento, CA            @ Harlow's7/26/2016 Salt Lake City, UT @ Urban Lounge7/27/2016 Denver, CO @ Bluebird Theater7/28/2016 Des Moines, IA @ Wooly's www.thejoyformidable.com
