March 21, 2023 - Indie/folk favorites The Lone Bellow have announced the Love Songs for Losers Spring Trio Tour. The group will hit the road for a new round of dates across the eastern US in support of their critically acclaimed new album Love Songs for Losers (available now via Dualtone Music Group). Kicking off on April 15th in Florida, stops will include Mobile, Chattanooga, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Burlington, Newport, and Charlottesville among many others.

The Lone Bellow also shared today the brand new official video for their latest chart-topping hit single “Honey.” Since its release last fall, the song has emerged as the newest favorite amongst fans as well as at radio, currently at a career high in the Top 5 on Triple A and Top 5 on Americana radio.

"It doesn’t happen often, but every once in a while I can remember the very moment a song idea hits me,” stated lead singer Zach Williams. “We had just landed from a beautiful long European tour and I was walking towards my house with all my stuff. It was late, so everyone in my house was sound asleep. I put my luggage down, and collapsed into the old chair next to the embers of my family’s fire. Staring at the orange and red I started humming, ‘Honey, I never call you honey, unless somebody’s watching…Baby.’ Then I snuck upstairs and crawled into bed. For a couple years after that, I’d catch myself humming it. We tried to write it one time in California on a day off, but the chorus wasn’t right. A year or two passed and I started learning how to play the piano. I was sitting there droning on the same chord over and over when, ‘walking out in the middle of the street now, in the middle of the night…’ came into my mind, and that was it. The next day I played a little simple version of it for Brian and Kanene and they liked it enough to start working on it. It was still a pretty simple song until Jacob Sooter and Brian changed the chords — that’s when it really started coming to life.”

“It’s wonderful to be reminded that you might have some silly idea floating around in the back of your head and you might be like me and tell yourself it’s nothing, but I’ll say this to you and me — fight against that feeling and try to bring that idea to life. We all need it.”

Their fifth full-length, Love Songs For Losers finds the beloved Nashville-by-way-of-Brooklyn trio striking out on their own for the first time and self-producing, a departure from their previous work with elite producers like Aaron Dessner (The National) and Dave Cobb. They also stepped outside the familiar studio setting and recorded the album over the course of eight weeks at Roy Orbison’s former home in Nashville. The result is the group’s most expansive and eclectic body of work yet, an intimate meditation on the pain and joy and ineffable wonder of being human, at turns heartbreaking, irreverent, and sublimely transcendent.

Throughout their lifespan as a band, The Lone Bellow have cast an indelible spell with their finespun songs of hard truth and unexpected beauty, frequently delivered in hypnotic three-part harmony. With Love Songs for Losers, they dreamt up a singular sound encompassing everything from arena-ready rock anthems to gorgeously sprawling Americana tunes. After sketching the album’s 11 songs in a nearby church, the band holed up for eight weeks at Orbison’s house on Old Hickory Lake along with longtime bassist Jason Pipkin and drummer Julian Dorio. Co-produced by Brian Elmquist and Jacob Sooter, Love Songs for Losers also finds singer/multi-instrumentalist Kanene Donehey Pipkin taking the reins as vocal producer, expertly harnessing the rarefied vocal magic they’ve continually brought to stages around the world. The triumph of completing their first self-produced album marks the start of a thrilling new chapter in the band’s journey, newly emboldened to create without limits.

ABOUT THE LONE BELLOW:
Founded by Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey Pipkin, and Brian Elmquist, The Lone Bellow made their auspicious debut in 2013 with the self-titled, Charlie Peacock-produced album that quickly landed at No. 64 on the Billboard 200. It later turned up on best-of-the-year lists from the likes of Paste and PopMatters. With over 100 million career streams to date, The Lone Bellow’s past output also includes the Aaron Dessner-produced Then Came the Morning (a 2015 effort that earned them an Americana Music Award nomination) and Walk Into a Storm (a 2017 release produced by Dave Cobb and hailed by NPR for its “warmly rousing, gospel-inflected Americana”). Their 2020 chart-topping album Half Moon Light marked their second outing with Dessner and spawned the Triple A radio hits “Count On Me” and “Dried Up River” (both of which also hit #1 on the Americana Singles chart). It also earned widespread critical acclaim from NPR, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and Billboard among others.
