With over three decades of touring to credit, New Orleans Alt-Rock heavyweight Better Than Ezra – named one of Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time Alternative Artists” – returns to the road for the BETTER THAN EZRA: LEGENDS OF THE FALL 2022 TOUR. Tickets for the 13-city headlining run are on sale Friday (8/12) at 10 a.m. (local time) at BetterThanEzra.com.
“This tour is all about getting back to the cities, clubs, and theaters we love the most. We can't wait to get up close and personal with the audience. Get ready for new songs, new moves, and also tapping back into the catalog to songs we haven't played in years,” shares Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin (lead vocals, guitar, piano). “So many of our songs pull from settings and images of autumn, and the fall has always been our favorite time of year to tour. Oh, and being massive Brad Pitt fans, ‘Legends of the Fall’ was a no-brainer name for this run – such a dreamboat!”
Better Than Ezra’s Tom Drummond (bass, backing vocals) agrees, “We’re stoked to be back headlining our own shows. It’s been a minute since we’ve been able to really do our thing, and I’m especially excited to debut some new songs this fall.”
Fans can expect all the glitz, glamour, and provocative moves that everyone has come to expect from a Better Than Ezra show, as they supercharge the trek at the House of Blues in Chicago, IL, on October 20. Appearing at their favorite clubs and theaters in Boston, MA, New York, NY, Washington, DC, Atlanta, GA, and more, the high-octane entertainers top it all off in Houston, TX, at the House of Blues on November 6. Since their first house party gig at Louisiana State University in 1988, Better Than Ezra has continued to sell out amphitheaters and arenas as a bold force of nature onstage while playing to millions of fans all over the world.

Turning the music scene upside down since their first independent DELUXE release in 1993 and reigning two years later with “Good” at #1, Forbes has praised the legend-making longevity of the ‘90s rock stars saying, “So many of that decade's most influential, like supernovas, burned up fast – Better Than Ezra defied those odds.” Hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics have boldly cemented the group as an enduring trailblazer in the genre. Boasting Top 15 career hits with “Desperately Wanting,” “A Lifetime,” “In the Blood,” and “King of New Orleans,” Better Than Ezra has garnered over 300 MILLION streams to date.
