Brooklyn-based nine-piece Turkuaz have announced newly added winter dates to their Life in the City Tour, making stops along the West Coast and Southwest including Dallas, Austin, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Denver and more. Tickets are on sale beginning October 5th at 10am local. Please visit www.turkuazband.com for all ticketing details.
A kaleidoscope of colors, sounds and personality make up the vibrant music of Turkuaz. Balancing male-female harmonies, strutting guitars, wild brass sections, and interminable grooves, this spirit takes shape in the neon hues donned by each respective member on stage via larger-than-life performances that turn into massive dance parties. Bringing light and a self-fulfilling positivity into what can sometimes be a dark and challenging world, Turkuaz ignites an explosion of funk, alternative, rock, R&B, and psychedelia punctuated by deft musicality and show-stopping singalongs on their fifth full-length album, Life In The City.
Since emerging in 2011 with their self-titled debut, the group has quietly animated a movement. Touring incessantly in support of four full-length studio albums and three official live releases, they’ve lit up festivals from Bonnaroo, Suwanee Hulaween, Okeechobee, Electric Forest, and Mountain Jam to Telluride Jazz, High Sierra, and Lock’n, in between gracing stages at legendary spots such as Red Rocks, Terminal 5, and The Fillmore. Most recently, 2015’s Digitonium LP racked up over 1 million-plus cumulative streams. The bands live performances and infectious energy has garner praise from the likes of Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker, and Relix.
Turkuaz is currently on the road for a run of Fall dates, which included an epic show at Red Rocks and will feature a special performance at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY on October 19thbefore the band closes out 2018 with a bang on New Year’s Eve at The Palladium in Worcester, MA.
