Sharing the news after an undeniable year of growth, Southall’s 10 YEARS OF SIX STRING SORROW TOUR is a reminder of why they do this all in the first place. Their love of music, their fans, and the open road has propelled them to become the success that they are.
“It's always good music, original songs and great entertainment,” hails Texas Review. “Read does a fantastic job interacting with the crowd and the band always makes sure the audience has an exciting night with lots of awesome music.”
The six-member group comprised of Read Southall, Reid Barber, Jeremee Knipp, Braxton Curliss, John Tyler Perry, and Ryan Wellman came together in 2015, playing dance halls and bars all across the country. Six String Sorrow is the record that united the band and led to a decade of new music and five albums under their belt. This record not only launched the band’s career but eventually led to nods from top-tier sources like Rolling Stone, saying they defy genres and “infuse rock and metal into the band’s coffee shop vibe.”
Formerly known as Read Southall Band, the GOLD-certified group (“Why”) boasts nearly 600 MILLION total streams and has 1.2 MILLION cumulative monthly listeners. They spent the last few years building a rabid grassroots following on the road across the country, winning over crowds alongside Whiskey Myers, Jamey Johnson, Blackberry Smoke, and Chase Rice, and on their headlining run as an epic breakout takes shape.
