Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby is announcing additional 2016 tour dates with his band The Noisemakers which will continue to take the group across the country.

Highlights include Eaux Claires, DelFest, a mini-reunion show Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder on 6/21, and the premiere edition of the Funhouse Festival in Bruce’s hometown of Williamsburg, VA–a three day event presented by Hornsby and the Virginia Arts Festival (6/24-26) that will feature a special 30(th) Anniversary performance of Bruce’s debut album, The Way It Is, as well as a performance of his new collection Rehab Reunion. Special fan club pre-sales for the newly confirmed shows will occur on May 10(th) on BruceHornsby.com and public on-sales will follow on May 13(th). Rehab Reunion, which features Bruce on dulcimer and will be released June 17(th) on 429 Records. Full tour schedule below.
Bruce Hornsby’s work displays a creative iconoclasm that’s been a constant in the artist’s three decade recording career. His commercial stock soared early on, when “The Way It Is”-the title track of his 1986 debut album celebrating its 30(th) anniversary this year-became one of the most popular songs on American radio. Despite his early mainstream successes, Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic musical path, focusing on projects that sparked his creative interest, including collaborations with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Don Henley, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck, Bonnie Raitt, Pat Metheny, and Robbie Robertson. Hornsby’s performance will offer a glimpse of a restless spirit who continues to push forward into exciting new musical terrain. With The Noisemakers, he seamlessly combines elements of rock, jazz, R&B and modern classical to creating a strikingly distinctive style. The epitome of a musical family, The Noisemakers consists of bassist J.V. Collier, keyboardist/organist John “JT” Thomas, drummer Sonny Emory and new Noisemakers Ross Holmes on fiddle/mandolin and Gibb Droll on guitar.
