Tampa-based psychedelic, funk-fusion outfit Displace is beginning to make a lot of heads turn. Last week, the band confirmed an appearance at this year’s Suwannee Hulaween, arguably one of the best and most eclectic festivals in the country year after year. Now, they have announced a full list of dates for their 2017 national “Send It Tour.” The 17-date run will begin with two nights in Dunedin, FL this Friday. Then, the run will get going in earnest on 7/12 as the band begins a three-show, three-city run in Ohio before heading to Chicago for a pair of Phish pre-parties at Mom’s Place with Joe Marcinek. Next, the quartet will head to Colorado for a five-night jaunt (including a performance with Frogleg & Jaden Carlson in Denver and a String Cheese Incident after party in Boulder). Finally, Displace will hit the south for three shows in Texas and one in New Orleans with Eminence Ensemble, followed by a tour-closing performance in at Soulshine Farm Music Festival in Green Mountain, NC on August 11th, marking their fourth consecutive year at the event. The tour is being sponsored by Founder’s Brewing and Honest Tea.
In addition to the tour announcement, the band has released pro-shot video footage of their performance of original tune “Friction” from their recent performance at Orange Blossom Jamboree Music Festival. featuring sit-ins by Christian Ryan (Leisure Chief / Holey Miss Moley), Sara Phillips (Green Sunshine) and Dan Jones (The Reality).
