Judah and the Lion is on a roll this year. Just last week, we saw them team up with the über-talented Kacey Musgraves for a new song, “pictures”. The band is no stranger to rapid-fire releases. Less than two weeks later, the Nashville three-piece is back with a new single, “Why Did You Run?”, the latest preview of their recently announced album, Pep Talks (out May 3 via Cletus the Van/Caroline).
Judah the Lion have also announced a headlining tour to go along with album release. The tour will also be preceded by previously announced intimate tour dates, where Judah Akers, Brian Macdonald, and Nate Zuercher will be on hand to tell the story behind Pep Talks, giving fans an exclusive and intimate listening experience ahead of the release. Fans can optionally submit their questions for Judah, Nate, and Brian ahead of the tour here. Remaining tickets are limited with events in Athens, GA and Knoxville, TN already sold-out, and tickets for the normal leg of the tour are onsale now here.
