The tour kicks off tonight in Somerville, MA and we’re
already seeing some press hits.
Tune into Northeast Public Radio / 90.3FM WAMC (Albany, NY) or
http://www.wamc.org/ tomorrow morning at 11:30am to hear Leland
Sundries and Dan Kaplan songs and interview.
Here are a few other clips that ran:
Boston Phoenix: “Acoustic road warriors Leland Sundries, from NYC, and
Cambridge’s Dan Kaplan are on a tour that ricochets from clubs to
pizza joints to ice-cream parlors to bookstores – which seems apt for
the sprawling character of their warm-but-unpredictable sounds and
indie attitude. “Whiter Shade of Pale” organ rubs against moaning
country steel guitar and French sidewalk-café squeezebox on Kaplan’s
EPs, all of it balanced by his lightly honeyed voice. And on the new
Apothecary (L’echiquier), Leland Sundries singer/picker Nick
Loss-Eaton’s the-Band-meets-Lou-Reed approach mates gnawing electric
guitar and old-time acoustic six-string, banjo, and harmonica melodies
with dry-witted, drawling, modern-day ennui. The two acts are playing
in a duo format at Sally O’Brien’s, 335 Somerville Ave, Somerville | 8
pm | free | 617.666.3589 or www.sallyobriensbar.com.”
