The stop supports their current album of the same name
The Boxmasters will wrap their Pepper Tree Hill Tour with a show at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on October 20th. The group is on tour to support its 19th album, Pepper Tree Hill, which was released this summer, showcasing the group’s love of the Sixties and the inspiration of their studio, also named Pepper Tree Hill.
Tickets for the newly announced Los Angeles concert go on sale on Friday, September 12th at 10 am local time.
Last month, Bud Thornton and JD Andrew spoke to us about the album and tour. The song “Pepper Tree Hill” features legendary trumpeter and bandleader Herb Alpert and longtime collaborator and Boxmaster alum Brad Davis. The title track is “a salute to the creative atmosphere that The Boxmasters thrive in.”
“This album really is, more so than a lot of our records, even though all of our songs that we write are based on the 70s and the British invasion and all that. This one really has some touches that are more evident than usual and, of course, we had Herb Alpert on the song ‘Pepper Tree Hill’ which harkens back to the 60s,” Thornton says.
They recently opened for The Who in Newark, New Jersey, where the show didn’t go as planned. Thornton and Andrew discuss the performance along with the album, tour, and more, including a Landman soundtrack album that’s in the works, featuring original songs co-written with Landman co-star and country singer-songwriter Mark Collie, Ronnie Dunn, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Parker McCollum, and Dwight Yoakam, to name a few.
