Band Headlines Amphitheaters in Support of The Release of Band‘s Fourth Album, Count Me In
Rebelution, known for its relentless touring schedule, positive, upbeat music, and sense of community and collaboration, announces Leg One of its “Count Me In Summer Tour.” The 18 dates on this leg will take place primarily on the U.S. east coast, with the band making a quick trip to California for a special appearance at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival on June 22. Rebelution’s west coast leg will be announced next week.
Rebelution will be joined on this tour by support acts Iration, The Green, Stick Figure and DJ Mackle. The band will host one week of direct-to-fan pre-sales with discounted ticketing fees and a limited amount of “Platinum Packages”, which include a signing and photo session with the band before doors open, a limited edition laminate, signed poster and T-Shirt. Tickets go on sale to the general public next Thursday, April 3; log on HERE for complete purchasing information.
In addition, the band will be hosting photo and video contests on their social media pages, giving fans the unique opportunity to paint live on stage during their set and participate in a jam session with the entire band backstage before the show.
The “Count Me In Summer Tour” is in conjunction with the release of the band’s fourth independent full-length album, Count Me In, due out on June 10, 2014 (87 Music/Easy Star Records). Fans can get a taste of the new music with a free download of the track “De-Stress” by going HERE.
“There’s really nothing else we’d rather do during the Summer than be on the road, performing live music,” said bassist Marley D Williams. “We’ve got a great show planned and are looking forward to playing some brand new songs as well as the favorites, so we hope everyone will come and celebrate the Summer life with us.”
Count Me In was produced by the SoCal-based Rebelution (Eric Rachmany/vocals, guitar, Rory Carey/keyboards, Marley D. Williams/bass, and Wesley Finley/drums), and recorded in Miami and Burbank, CA between September and December of last year. The album features special guest appearances by dancehall singer Collie Buddz (on the track “Hate To Be The One”) and legendary roots reggae vocalist Don Carlos (on “Roots Reggae Music”).
While the music and lyrical content varies on Count Me In, the album’s 11 tracks provide positive inspiration, encouraging fans to create a pro-active and optimistic impact on society and life. “A lot of what we hear every day is that money measures success,”said Rachmany. “This new album is a reminder to spread love and positivity to the people around us – these are the true measures of success.”
