THE MILK CARTON KIDS ANNOUNCE FALL HEADLINE TOUR DATES
 
The Milk Carton Kids have just announced a brand new series of North American tour dates in October and November. The duo is continuing to perform in support of their acclaimed new album The Ash & Clay. NPR recently described the album as 'gorgeous contemporary folk.'
 
After releasing The Ash & Clay on March 26, The Milk Carton Kids embarked on a two week European tour before returning to tour the U.S. in April and May.  This summer includes appearances at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Newport Folk Fest and both Winnipeg and Edmonton Folk Festivals in Canada as well as dates with Josh Ritter.
 
Critical Acclaim For The Milk Carton Kids:
 
"The Milk Carton Kids transport with heartbreaking understatement. Extraordinary musical facility, both vocal and on vintage guitars, meets humor, smarts and style on an otherwise ordinary stage." - Huffington Post
 
"A sweetly dazzling variation on close-harmony vocals, part Simon and Garfunkel and part Everly Brothers, with occasional acoustic prestidigitation." - The New York Times
 
"Bittersweet and beautiful" - San Francisco Chronicle
