Boston-based rocking quartet Neighbor have announced a fall US tour, with the first show kicking off in Buffalo. To close out the tour, the band will be doing an epic three-night Halloween run in New England alongside powerhouse trio LaMP.
Although Neighbor formed in the last half-decade, the band members’ roots began over 35 years ago. Childhood neighbors Richard James (vocals, keys) and Lyle Brewer (guitar) shared fence lines and melodies as they both grew and explored their own musical paths. Decades later, the quartet became complete with the addition of Dan Kelly (bass) and Dean Johnston (drums) in 2019. Their creative incubation began with a weekly residency that grew in large part by the passion of their fans, the “Neighbors,” who continue to inspire the band as the fan base has expanded across the country.
With a diverse catalog of hundreds of songs, Neighbor combines ambitious composition, soulful balladry, and a fearless approach to their lengthy improvisations. Not boxed in by a single genre, their songwriting brings elements of Americana, funk, rock, jazz, soul and more. The band is putting pen to paper once again as they head back into the studio to begin work on their second album.
But before their follow-up project hits streaming services, the quartet has decided to keep busy, announcing a fall tour with 12 stops in 11 cities, the first being Buffalo. Beginning on October 10, Neighbor will hit all 12 shows across the country in just 23 days, with the final three shows being a self-contained Halloween run alongside Burlington, Vermont band, LaMP. The final show in the tour will see Neighbor returning to their home crowd in Boston.
