You, Me, and Everyone We Know will head out on tour this spring with support from Squid The Whale and The Orphan, The Poet. YMAEWK singer and founder Ben Liebsch will be performing solo with no backing band, though a few guests may pop on stage each night. A message from Leisbsch, as well as the tour dates, can be seen below.
I’m very excited to announce that I will be embarking on a 30 or so day tour with Squid The Whale and The Orphan The Poet from May 10 through June 8th, starting in the midwest and travelling clockwise around this fine country. It took some time for me to realize that I wanted to pursue to the band on a full time basis again and it was a process that, along with a suggestion from Bradley in Squid The Whale, lead me to approach this tour the way I will be later this spring. I will be taking the stage without a band behind me (though there will be a few guests helping out each night), playing songs from each release over the last 7 years and talking about the band’s story along with my own. I decided to embark on this one-time only tour because it seems people have always really related to the lyrical side of this band’s music. I think this will be a unique way to present the music and share the life and learning experiences that lead to the uncomfortably honest songs ive made a habit of writing. I hope you are as excited to see this show as I am to be sharing the stage with such fine bands. I look forward to seeing everyone next month. It’s been a long time coming!
