Due to overwhelming demand, the band has announced a new string of dates taking place through November, traveling across the midwest to the northeast coast and stopping by cities like Pittsburgh, Ithaca, Richmond, Baltimore, Boston, and beyond. Tour dates and tickets for all shows are available here. Listen / Share: Beyond Beyond Beyond LP Born of the 2010’s folk boom and now comfortably stationed in their rock and roll era, The Crane Wives epitomize the evolving landscape of indie folk. Their high-energy performances have been described as “charged with emotion and technical skill” (Blurred Culture), while their harmony-dense melodies support deeply resonant lyrics, exploring the vulnerable and the ugly sides of the human condition. The band has built a global community and has amassed over 1m Spotify monthly listeners and 100m+ total streams with their unparalleled, spirited live show, evocative lyricism and glimmering harmonies. Featured by Michigan Radio and NPR’s “All Songs Considered," the band recently released their sixth full-length studio record, Beyond Beyond Beyond, to high praise, with Glasse Factory calling the album “a testament to the band’s ability to turn personal struggles into universally relatable anthems." Niner Times describes the new release as “angsty, haunting and gritty,” praising its departure from the more traditional folk sound of The Crane Wives’ previous records. Since its release in September 2024, Beyond Beyond Beyond has accrued over 18 million streams on Spotify. The pulse of The Crane Wives is delivered by Ben Zito (bass) and Dan Rickabus (drums), creating a driving, dynamic backdrop while co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury establish expansive and gritty conversations between their electric guitars. A web of three-part harmony helps to soften the blow of their emotional candor, like a 21st century Cerberus, the hound of Hades reimagined as an emotional support animal. The Crane Wives have 6 full-length albums under their belts and have performed over 600 shows across the US, sharing stages with acts such as The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South, Joseph, and many more. 2025 UK Tour Dates: September 24 London @ Islington Assembly Hall [SOLD OUT] September 25 Birmingham @ Birmingham Town Hall September 26 Manchester @ O2 Ritz [SOLD OUT] September 27 Glasgow @ O2 Academy September 29 Bristol @ SWX Bristol [SOLD OUT] September 30 London @ Islington Assembly Hall 2025 US Tour dates (Newly Added): November 7 Buffalo, NY @ Ashbury Hall at Babeville November 8 Pittsburgh, PA @ Stage AE November 9 Harrisburg, PA @ XL Live November 11 Ithaca, NY @ State Theatre November 12 Asbury Park, NY @ The Stone Pony November 14 Richmond, VA @ The National November 15 Baltimore, MD @ Nevermore Hall November 16 Norwalk, CT @ District Music Hall November 19 Huntington, NY @ The Paramount November 21 Boston, MA @ Roadrunner November 22 Portland, ME @ State Theatre November 23 Burlington, VT @ Higher Ground
