X Rockers, Rival Sons are invading the Rust Belt in East Moline this week! The Grammy-nominated band will head out across the U.S. this Fall, with a date this Thursday, November 12th, at the Rust Belt in East Moline, promising to play tracks from across their nine-album catalogue. Guitarist Scott Holiday states: “We are elated to get back out touring across the U.S., it’s been a while. We weren’t able to tour the U.S. properly on the last two records, so it’s going to be great to get back to some of those territories we missed. We’re going to mix it up and try to play songs from across the catalogue – this is going to be fun for us!” Rival Sons will be joined by Canadian blues rock duo The Blue Stones and Colorado based rock trio The Velveteers on most shows (see full tour dates for details)
The band have announced they’ve been back in the studio working on a new album, expected next year. Drummer Michael Miley states: “It’s been great to get back to writing and recording with my brothers in Rival Sons – it’s early days and we’re doing this one a bit differently but I’m so excited about how it’s turning out!”
Rival Sons released their last albums DARKFIGHTER and LIGHTBRINGER in 2023, subverting expectations with two full-length albums in one year. Though born from the same creative cycle, the records are distinct in spirit — capturing Rival Sons in a state of constant evolution. That evolution has continued beyond the band, with frontman Jay Buchanan releasing his debut solo album Weapons of Beauty earlier this year, a more intimate and cinematic body of work that debuted at #10 on the US Americana chart.
Listen up with Matt Bahan on the Morning X this week, as Matt will be interviewing the band prior to their Moline show at the Rust Belt!
