Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will take it down a notch for a special trek across North America.
The indie rock act will embark on a Piano & Voice tour at several intimate venues across the country. The trek kicks off on January 15 at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and it’ll conclude on February 15 at Toronto’s Lula Lounge. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah previously did Piano & Voice shows in Europe.
Vocalist Alec Ounsworth said this about the special tour:
“Essentially, this is an opportunity for me to put forward my songs for Clap Your Hands in their starkest form. After having done shows in this form in Europe, this will be the first round of shows of this kind in the United States. Doing the material in this way has been a chance to connect with the work on an intimate and new (but familiar) level. Be ready for some raw emotion – precisely what I, for one, need at the moment. Please join me for these special, small shows.”
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have been busy celebrating the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album by performing it in full. The band will continue the celebration with forthcoming shows in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets for all shows are on sale to the general public right now here.
