Tumbling Bones are two dates into a monster 13 date tour of the country.  Tumbling Bones are a three piece form Maine in the northeast of the USA. They play some down to earth American folk music, with guitars, banjos and voilins as well as their layered vocals. It’s the type of sound that it’s hard not to enjoy and will sit equally well with hipsters or old timers (I’m not quite sure which of those genres I fall into).

“Tumbling Bones have a passion for the heritage of American music and a penchant for honest, no frills-attached acoustic music.”

Details of their tour of every nook and cranny in Ireland is below. They play upstairs in Whelans on June 5th.

You can find their albums on their bandcamp page at the link below.
