Brant Bjork Trio Add US Tour to Early 2025 Plans
As first confirmed last month with the announcement of the UK and Ireland dates below, Brant Bjork Trio will continue to support their new album, Once Upon a Time in the Desert (review here) — issued through Bjork‘s reinvigorated imprint Duna Records — by taking it to the stage. Following up on the January/February run abroad, a US tour will pick up on March 7, one day short of a month from the last UK date in London, and loop the three-piece of Bjork, bassist Mario Lalli and drummer Ryan Güt through the upper Midwest, the Northeast, and back into the Midwest to finish in Chicago on March 22.
Keeping busy, then. That was the theme for the Trio‘s 2024 as well. I was fortunate enough to see them in Budapest (review here) before the record came out, and man, what a party that was — and no, not just because it was on a boat. Playing songs from Brant Bjork‘s unparalleled catalog in desert rock, they brought new material and old to life in a way that dared the audience not to boogie, and sure enough, the crowd I was in couldn’t resist. Not the first time, hopefully won’t be the last, and if you’re someplace where they’re going to be, you likely don’t need me to tell you it’s an occasion worth showing up for. At least you can make your plans early.

Stoked for the Kentucky dates and being able to share the experience of Brother Brant with many friends
Fyi – some of the venues (well, John & Peter’s in New Hope, PA anyway) are very small, and not updated with their own ticket links, but the links for all the dates/tickets are on the Duna link you’ve kindly provided, thought in case anyone was, like me, confused – that should help set ya straight. Basically, if you want to see this iteration of the Brant Bjork Trio boogie right, I’d get on them tickets now. I’ve seen the dude sell out bigger places so frankly was surprised at the venue choice/s but intimate settings are always a blast.
Sure hope you all make it to the west coast of the states. This is fantastic.
