Beirut is set to embark on its first national tour in over four years in support of The Rip Tide, out August 30th on Pompeii Records. Beirut will make their Greek Theatre debut on October 4.
Joining Beirut leader Zach Condon (ukulele, trumpet, piano, vocals) on the road isPerrin Cloutier (accordion, piano), Paul Collins (electric bass, upright bass), Ben Lanz (trombone, piano, tuba), Nick Petree (drums), and Kelly Pratt (trumpet, euphonium). A six piece band who has consistently honed their live show throughout the band’s career, Beirut puts on an undeniably solid and confident performance and shows a singular band maturing both on record and in concert.
Few predicted the inward journey Condon has achieved on The Rip Tide. With songs that speak of universal human themes that are less fabricated stories than impressions of life at a quarter century of age, the album exposes a depth of honesty that outstrips the simplified nomadic troubadour image of his past. Hear album track, "East Harlem," below.
