Acclaimed singer-songwriter\u00a0Parker\u00a0Millsap\u00a0starts his new tour tomorrow in support of his latest critically acclaimed album,\u00a0BE HERE INSTEAD. Beginning in Indianapolis, IN at Hi-Fi, the dates take him and his band across the country and end November 20 at Oklahoma City, OK’s Douglas Auditorium. Highlights include two nights at Schuba’s in Chicago, IL, New York’s Bowery Ballroom, Union Stage in Washington, DC, the Basement East iN Nashville, TN, and Austin, TX’s 3Ten Center. Full tour dates are below.<\/p>\n

\n

Millsap\u2019s fifth studio LP and first new album in close to three years,\u00a0BE HERE INSTEAD\u00a0marks a stylistic shift from the gritty and high-energy folk of the Oklahoma-bred, Nashville-based artist\u2019s previous output. Mainly recorded live with\u00a0Millsap\u2019s full band, the album sees a departure from the guitar-and-notebook-based approach to songwriting that shaped his earlier work. Instead,\u00a0Millsap\u00a0has followed his curiosity to countless other modes of expression, experimenting with everything from piano to effects pedals to old school drum machines (a fascination partly inspired by the early-\u201970s innovations of Sly Stone and J.J. Cale).<\/p>\n

BE HERE INSTEAD\u00a0was produced by the legendary John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Waxahatchee), and was heralded in January with the luminous \u201cThe Real Thing.” The song \u2013 which features guest vocals from Nashville singer Erin Rae \u2013 was also joined by a video, streaming now at YouTube. “The Real Thing” was met with a lot of excitement at radio, peaking at #1 on the Americana chart and sitting in the top 5 for 13 weeks, and making\u00a0NPR’s Heavy Rotation<\/a>\u00a0list twice. In February,\u00a0Millsap\u00a0returned with the song “Vulnerable,” a lushly textured piece of psychedelic soul threaded with elegantly simple wisdom that\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0called “a shimmering dreamlike production that plays like an underwater orchestra.” The song was joined by a companion video directed by Casey Pierce.\u00a0He then released \u201cDammit,\u201d one of the album\u2019s most majestic moments as it unfolds as an unlikely epic that perfectly captures the nuances of existential frustration while working up a furious momentum that\u2019s nothing less than exhilarating. It was also joined by an official music video. Milsap then shared\u00a0“In Between”\u00a0via a\u00a0premiere<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Garden & Gun, who said, “Millsap\u2019s earnest, no-frills vocals tumble out over understated strumming, with the occasional sparse harmony accentuating lyrics about being finished with one phase of life but not quite ready for the next.”<\/p>\n
