Formed in 2013, Hard Working Americans is a well-seasoned all-star group composed of Dave Schools and Duane Trucks of Widespread Panic, Todd Snider and Chad Staehly of Great American Taxi, Neal Casal of Chris Robinson Brotherhood, and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Aycock. Today, the veteraned ensemble announced that they’d be releasing their second live album, We’re All in this Together, on the heels of their 2016 studio release Rest In Chaos and following up their first live album The First Waltz, which was released back in 2014. We’re All in this Together will drop later in the summer on August 4th and contains thirteen live tracks, the majority of which were culled from Hard Working American’s 2016 tour in promotion of their sophomore release, Rest In Chaos. As noted by Relix, this latest live album heavily pulls from the group’s performance at Birmingham, Alabama’s Iron City on August 19th.

To coincide with the announcement, the band also premiered their cover of Chuck Berry’s “School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes the Bell)” in the same Relix announcement. You can watch Hard Working Americans’ cover of Chuck Berry below, and head to iTunes or Amazon to pre-order We’re All in this Together. You can also catch Hard Working Americans on the road, with their 2017 tour kicking off at High Sierra Music Festival next weekend. From there, the group has one-off dates in July before their tour kicks into high gear in the fall, terminating with a number of West Coast dates supporting Tedeschi Trucks Band. You can check out their tour dates for yourself below.
