There are two tours coming up! In mid December the band will be doing a run from the upper Midwest down throughout the Rust belt, and into the northern reaches of the swampy south. Of particular note are returns to markets like Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and Cincinnati, while hitting new rooms and old friends in Fayetteville AR, St Louis MO, and Lexington, KY.

Of course the traditions of the holiday season are to be continued for Garaj Mahal, as the late December run will include mostly West Coast stops- some old, some new. The tour will premier in Seattle WA on December 30th and will head north for a New Year's eve blast with our friends Five Alarm Funk in Vancouver, BC at the Vogue Theater with our friends from Upstream Entertainment. Stops in Bellingham, Portland and Tacoma will ring in the new year, and then a quick run down I-5 with a stop in Applegate OR, then Eureka, CA before the wild card. Are you ready? Jan 8 and 9 are the first ever appearances by Garaj Mahal in Alaska! Hey, I can see Wasilla from here! Come to the Alyeska resort and thaw your winter chill. Finally, January 11th is the annual Yoshi's celebration. Now that is a traditional holiday Garaj Mahal West Coast Run!
