Today, Brooklyn-based nine-piece funk outfit Turkuaz has announced 19 newly added early-2019 dates to their already extensive Life In The City Tour. The new shows will bring the colorful funk powerhouse through the Southwest and West Coast. Turkuaz’s lengthy tour comes in support of their recently released album, Life In The City, which marks Turkuaz’s fifth album, following up 2015’s Digitonium. Notably, one of the album’s nine tracks, “If I Ever Fall Asleep”, was produced by Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison and engineered by ET Thorngren.
Turkuaz will be joined by Paris Monster, Object Heavy, and Eminence Ensemble, for these newly announced dates. Starting off the winter leg in Fayetteville, AR, January 23rd, the band will then head through the Lone Star state for a three-night run, with stops in Dallas, Austin, and Houston, January 24th through 26th. The band then makes two Arizona stops, January 29th and 30th, before heading up the West Coast, with stops in Solana Beach, CA, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Ashland, OR, Bend, OR, Portland, and Seattle. Turkuaz will wrap up the winter leg of their Life In The City Tour, with stops in Bellingham, WA, Missoula, MT, Bozeman, MT, Frisco, CO, and a tour-closing show at Denver’s Ogden Theatre on February 16th. Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale beginning Friday, October 5th at 10 a.m. local time. Head here for all ticketing details.
