June 18 - DeerTick w/ Former Champions
Deer Tick is an American indie folk band from Providence, Rhode Island led by guitarist and singer-songwriter John McCauley. Deer Tick's music has often been described as a combination of folk, blues, and country with a strong grunge influence. McCauley is known for his distinct gruff-sounding voice. The band began as McCauley's solo project in December 2004. Beginning his touring career with a lot of help from Brendon Massei (Viking Moses), McCauley had toured extensively across the United States by the age of 19. He released 3 tapes and numerous CD-Rs in this time period, and eventually settled into what is now known as Deer Tick.
