St. Paul & The Broken Bones confirm European tour in June
This June, St. Paul & The Broken Bones will bring their legendary live show to the UK and Europe for the first time since summer 2022. The run of dates finds the Southern octet headlining shows in cities including London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Amsterdam and more. Paul Janeway of the band shares: ‘We are so excited to come over the Atlantic and see y’all in the UK/EU. There will be first times on this tour and there will also be familiar spots for us. So don’t miss it. We can’t wait to see y’all.’
The upcoming performances celebrate St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ acclaimed album “Angels In Science Fiction”, out now on ATO Records. Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, John Prine, Elvis Presley) and recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Angels In Science Fiction was written in the span of a few weeks after bandleader Paul Janeway learned that his wife was pregnant with their daughter, Marigold. Following the examples set by greats like Aristotle, William James and John Steinbeck, Janeway penned the album as a series of letters to his then-unborn daughter.
Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2011, St. Paul & The Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight-piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debut Half the City, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury.
The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s ‘Young Sick Camellia’. Their latest LP, ‘Angels In Science Fiction’, stretches their limbs further afield, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022’s ‘The Alien Coast’. The new record finds Janeway at his very best. With Angels In Science Fiction, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have crafted their most moving, comprehensive work—spanning their entire sonic and emotional scope.
