TOUR KICKS OFF TOMORROW IN NEWMARKET, NH

After a whirlwind month-long Northeast residency last October, Bonerama is at it again this year. The venerable trombone-based powerhouse will return to some familiar markets, while expanding the parameters to visit a few new cities and venues as well.

This year's tour will include three weekly residency stops. Friday nights, Bonerama will hold court once again at Sullivan Hall in the Village in New York City. On Saturday November 13 and November 20, the band will return to the North Star Bar in Philadelphia for the first time since December of 2007. Sunday nights, catch Bonerama at the New Orleans funk-friendly capital of Baltimore, MD, The 8x10.

The three performances initially scheduled at the soon-to-be extinct Harper's Ferry have morphed into four and have been safely relocated to The Stone Church in Newmarket, NH; Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA; Church of Boston near fabled Fenway Park; and as an added bonus, Wonder Bar in Allston, MA, around the corner from the defunct Harper's Ferry.

Similar to last year's residency, Bonerama will be joined by a variety of guests and friends for a veritable wrecking- ball of talent. With additional guests still to be named comes the announcement that drummer Terence Higgins (Dirty Dozen Brass Band) will join the band on all November dates.

Bonerama is pleased to welcome Adam “Shmeeans" Smirnoff (Lettuce, Robert Randolph) to the stage on the first weekend residency stops. Members of Morphine and Jeremy Lyons aka (Ever Expanding) Elastic Waste Band will open the New York City show on November 5, as an added attraction. Guitarist Cris Jacobs (The Bridge) will join the Bones for the November 14th Baltimore show.

The band also deploys some secret weapons in the form of two jam band superstars. Keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth (String Cheese Incident) and guitarist Steve Kimock (Crazy Engine, Zero, PRAANG, Steve Kimock Band and KVHW) lend their talents to Bonerama's wall of sound.

To open the final four dates of the tour, Bonerama welcomes their Boston-based friends and co-conspirators Nate Wilson Group. This up and coming super-group features members of Assembly of Dust and Percy Hill.

Fans are encouraged to “Bone Up" and pick up their tickets in advance for this special run of shows. For those that don't know, the Boner Donor program is designed to provide the ultimate Bonerama fan experience. Opportunities to purchase refillable flash-drives (aka the Hard Times Hard Drive), private parties, back-stage passes and much more enable the band to be closer to their fans than ever before. Existing Boner Donors are encouraged to bring their official Hard Times Hard Drives out to the shows for free refills. New drives will be available on all gigs in November.
