BOSS TWEED TO HEAD WEST, YOUNG MAN... AND THEN NORTH AND BACK EAST AGAIN...
We had a fantastic tour of Europe in July & early August... played a ton of outdoor festivals and clubs, venues made out of castle walls for crowds of rowdy bikers and excitable children... we highly recommend checking that part of the world out - Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia... beautiful countries with great history and amazing people... plus they love to rock. We will post some photos soon, and in the meantime we are putting the finishing touches on our September tour of our friendly neighbors to the North! Boss Tweed will be touring Canada for most of September, with a few dates in the Pacific Northwest added beforehand... we're slowly posting the schedule on our shows page, so keep checking back for more dates to be added.

BOSS TWEED SELECTED AS '2008 BLUES ARTIST ON THE RISE' BY BLUES FESTIVAL GUIDE
VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE REVIEWS BOSS TWEED'S VINYL 45
"When the band's eponymous debut CD arrived in 2005, we raved about the band's loungey rockabilly. Now, they're back with a vinyl EP featuring two stellar tunes... Buzz Like Houseflies is a romp, pure and simple. This is rollicking rockabilly with plenty of reverb and twang. And yet Sills' soulful vocals injects a twist that makes it all new...Perhaps... becomes a seance set to melody, conjuring up a misty past of dim juke joints and neon-lit roadhouses... The effect is mesmerizing." Read the full article HERE.
