GIRLS, GUNS & GLORY PERFORM SOLD-OUT SHOWS FOR 'GOOD LUCK' BOSTON'S MOST AWARDED BAND HEADS TO AUSTIN FOR SXSW

Share

(BOSTON, Mass.) - Boston's most beloved and awarded band in recent memory, rootsy rockers Girls, Guns and Glory are in the midst of their much-talked about album release shows to celebrate and showcase their fifth album, the critically-acclaimed "Good Luck."

"The album release shows have been going great," says singer Ward Hayden. "We just sold out the Stone Mountain Arts Center in Maine and our Boston show at the Sinclair was packed. We're having such a good time. Our producer Eric 'Roscoe' Ambel even joined us onstage in Boston. It was pretty awesome to have him come rock with us. The crowd loved it too," says singer Ward Hayden.

            The press can't get enough of Girls, Guns and Glory either. The Boston Herald recently praised the band for their "memorable melodies and Sun Studio swagger" and singled out the track, "Centralia, PA" as "a great modern conservation anthem." The Boston Globe writes,"The perpetually poised for break-out Americana mainstays are in the midst of a national tour, and their fifth release shows why with its mix of wistful banjo-pining ballads like 'All the Way Up to Heaven' and the ripping, brassy bar-band bounce of 'Be Your Man.'"

The foursome, which also includes Paul Dilley on electric and upright bass and piano, Josh Kiggans on drums and percussion, and Chris Hersch on lead guitar and banjo, will take their rock and roll swagger to Austin, Texas for a handful of shows during the famed South by Southwest music conference in March. So far, there are two shows set for March 12: the OPA! Coffee and Wine Bar and G&S Lounge (at midnight), and one on March 15 for the 3rd Coast Party at Giddy Ups. Updates on more shows added in Austin will be announced soon.

             The recently released "Good Luck" (Lonesome Day Records)takes the band from their Americana roots to more of a '50s inspired collection of gritty rock songs that The Boston Music Spotlight calls "another gem" in the band's already impressive discography. As The Patriot Ledger puts it, what you get with Girls, Guns and Glory is "good old-fashioned musicianship and sturdy songwriting."
