Tumbledown announce tour dates

News 28 Jan 10 By

In an era of cookie-cutter, made for radio, musical acts, the raw talent and energy behind MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN’s multi-genre appeal has fans scrambling for access to more live shows.  Now, their collective plea has been answered and a new tour is scheduled to cover the Pacific Coast and outward into the Southwest. The month of March will feel as wild as a Texas tornado with a packed series of 19 show dates, aptly named the North by Southwest Tour.  TUMBLEDOWN fans can also look forward to their favorite punk-a-billy band making an appearance at the annual SXSW Music Festival this year.

Under the creative influence of many of the great American songwriters and countless classic punk rock shows, forged out of personal heartbreak and reflection, MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN was born.  Following the release of their self-titled debut album, through End Sounds, and the praise for the hit single “Butcher of San Antone”, Mike Herrera and company now face the open road yet again. They will be kicking off their new tour on Friday, March 5 in Yakima, WA, winding it all up back in Seattle, WA on Friday, March 31.

While the world-traveling Bremerton, WA musician Mike Herrera may be most well-known as the dynamic bassist and lead singer of the Left Coast three-piece punk band MxPx, beneath all the tattoos and piercings, the ranting and stage wrecking, Herrera has long been an acoustic-wielding songsmith. MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN captures the punk rock energy of MxPx, while also displaying the soulful experiences of Herrera’s travels along the lonely, open road, coining their own unique pop-punk-a-billy sound.

MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN consists of Herrera as songwriter/lead vocals/guitar, lead guitarist Jack Parker, standup bassist Marshall Trotland, and drummer Harley Trotland.
