Vermont-based jam band Twiddle has announced an indefinite hiatus starting in 2024 after 18 years of touring together. Coming with the announcement is probably their final tour as a band, called the Distance Makes The Heart Tour.
Twiddle is comprised of members Mihali Savoulidis [vocals, guitar], Ryan Dempsey [keys, organ, synth], Brook Jordan [drums], and Zdenek Gubb [bass]. They recently celebrated the release of their fifth full-length album Every Last Leaf. Over the past almost two decades, the group has performed many at notable places and started traditions of their own, including Tumbledown and their annual Frendsgiving celebration. They have also played the newer Memorial Meltdown festival in Lake George as well.
Savoulidis spoke in a statement about the announcement, citing that change is important for creative growth and necessary for proper reflection.
We are so blessed to have been able to live out our dreams because of you and your support. Without all of you, none of this would have been possible. I wouldn’t trade a second of this experience for anything. So from the bottom of my heart and with all my love, thank you so much for everything. The Twiddle community really feels like a big family and the amount of kindness and love that you have shown us and each other over the years has been nothing but inspiring. I am so proud to have been a part of it.

Savoulidis went on to say that their new tour will be their last tour for a long time. More shows are to be announced soon, and they are excited to bring people together to celebrate the group’s music. He stressed it isn’t the end, but it is goodbye for now.
The Distance Makes The Heart Tour will be find Twiddle stopping in Huntington and Ithaca in the winter of 2023, their last appearances in New York before hiatus. There will be a limited amount of VIP packages available, with presale starting Nov. 30. You can purchase tickets here.
