The Main Squeeze has announced plans for New Year’s Eve 2018 with a pair of southern shows. The five-piece will kick off the run December 29th at Tipitina’s in New Orleans, LA, before heading to Jacksonville, FL’s 1904 Music Hall on December 31st to ring in the New Year.

The Main Squeeze recently announced their upcoming fall tour, which will span from the beginning of October through to the end of November. The high-octane funk outfit from Chicago will kick things off in Los Angeles with a performance on October 6th at Teragram Ballroom, followed up by two Colorado performances, October 12th at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO, and October 13th at Cervantes’s Other Side in Denver, CO.

On October 17th, the band lands in Madison, Wisconsin, followed up by shows in Grand Rapids and Ferndale, Michigan, and Covington, Kentucky. On October 24th, the band lays out a sprint across the Midwest, with shows in Columbus, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; and Goshen and Bloomington, Indiana. Finally, the band will arrive in the Northeast for a special Halloween show at Buffalo, New York’s Buffalo Iron Works.

A majority of November will be spent in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. After a stop at New York City’s Brooklyn Bowl on November 1st, the band will cruise through Boston and Burlington before hitting Asbury Park, New Jersey, on the 7th. From there, the band heads south, with stops in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., before another to-be-announced show on November 10th. A four-night Florida run follows, with The Main Squeeze’s fall tour finishing up with a stop in Indianapolis on November 21st ahead of the hometown throwdown tour closer in Chicago on November 23rd at Thalia Hall.

After making their Jam Cruise debut this past January aboard Jam Cruise 16, Jam Cruise has shared pro-shot video of The Main Squeeze’s “Dr. Funk”, performed during their Pool Deck set January 19th. During the end of their set, there is a short-lived but intense rainstorm, as the quintet keeps pushing on, offering their characteristically energetic funk grooves, despite the weather.

Watch pro-shot footage of The Main Squeeze’s epic “Dr. Funk” from Jam Cruise 16 below.
