It’s been a little quiet on the Old Man River front, but that’s all about to change with the bluesy singer-songwriter announcing a brand new tour and album.
His sophomore effort Trust showcases the artist’s natural evolution, with a bigger earthy sound incorporating sitars, electric guitars and tablas. The east meets west themes that Good Morning explored have been fully realised here. Adding to the global flavor, the album was recorded earlier this year in Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Mumbai.
The album will hit stores next year, but fans along the east coast will get a sneak peek at some intimate shows this month. Old Man River will showcase tracks from the new discs and some old favourites.
