NEW ALBUM ‘BACK AND FOURTH’ OUT JUNE 23 ON COLUMBIA

Man, I love, love, love me some Pete Yorn!   I’ve heard this new album, “Back and Fourth” and let me tell you – it’s better than all his previous albums! It is great!! He’s kicking off a new tour – and you guys HAVE to go see him!

In July, acclaimed singer and songwriter Pete Yorn will kick off a headlining tour in support of his anticipated new album ‘Back And Fourth’ (June 23, Columbia). Backed by his new band – a well-credentialed group of musicians including guitarist Jonny Polonsky who also played on the album, Joey Kennedy on keys, Scott Seiver on drums, Mark Noseworthy and Zak Schaffer on guitar – Yorn will preview the tour with a special album release show at the Roxy in LA on June 24. Tour highlights include multiple nights at LA’s Henry Fonda Theatre, NYC’s Webster Hall, and Chicago’s Park West.

Pete Yorn is currently on the road with Coldplay, through June 4. His first album in three years, ‘Back and Fourth,’ marks a bold new chapter for Yorn, who recorded in Omaha, NE, with producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley). Columbia’s Co-Chairman Rick Rubin also helped guide the project. The result is Yorn’s most personal statement to date.
