LANCO announces ‘Honky-Tonk Hippies’ EP & tour

Five blistering new tracks appear from upcoming self-produced EP

LANCO continues to forge new territory as the roots-frontier explorers and live-performance junkies announcing details behind their new Honky-Tonk Hippies EP, available July 2nd, and their 30-city fall headlining tour by the same name. The anthemic EP was self-produced by the band, with each track penned by at least two members. The group traveled to the iconic Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL to record the new music, absorbing its heart-pounding and soul-shaking influence. Now set to release five new tracks fit perfectly for the road, all fans are invited to sign up for a FANCO membership which offers instant access to receive the swampy title-track immediately.

Brandon Lancaster, Eric Steedly, Chandler Baldwin, Jared Hampton and Tripp Howell will electrify crowds across the country this summer. The five-man band will build off their deep-rooted connection with fans as the Honky-Tonk Hippies Tour launches September 12th in Isle of Palms, SC at The Wind Jammer with Ross Ellis. First pre-sale tickets go on sale to FANCO members tomorrow (Tues, June 22nd), with tickets available to the public beginning this Friday (June 25th) at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.

“For our band, the two things we love more than anything are playing shows and being in the studio,” states frontman Brandon Lancaster. “So, the minute we were cleared, we booked Fame Studios and started planning this tour. Seeing the dates on a calendar helped us visualize being back on stage, and these songs reflect that feeling. We tracked everything live with all our pent up energy, and it won’t be long until we’re out there with the fans crowd-surfing to it.”
