The Outhouse Poets are hauling the whole rig south this summer — twelve cities, twelve stages, and enough sawdust to fill a flatbed. The run kicks off in June with a handful of new songs nobody’s heard yet.
Starting June 14 in Austin and winding through honky-tonks, dance halls, and amphitheaters all the way to a Labor Day weekend closer in Memphis, this is the longest stretch of road dates the band has strung together since the Dust & Glory sessions. Every night gets the full show — upright bass, fiddle breakdowns, the works.
New Material on the Road
Fans who’ve been following the studio updates will finally hear tracks from the upcoming record performed live. The band has been road-testing three new songs in private rehearsals — rough, loud, and unpolished in the best possible way. Expect them dropped into the setlist without warning.
We write better songs when there’s a crowd in front of us and a beer getting warm on the amp. That’s what summer’s for.

The routing threads through some of the band’s favorite rooms — the Broken Spoke, Gruene Hall, The Station Inn — alongside a few new venues the crew hasn’t played before. A stop at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado marks the biggest stage the Outhouse Poets have headlined to date.
Tickets for all twelve dates go on sale Friday, May 16 at 10 a.m. local time. A limited number of early-bird general admission passes are available now through the Shows page. Grab them before they’re gone — last year’s fall run sold out six of eight rooms.
