Two beloved bands coming from different points on the map, bringing their audiences together for a select run of shows. Ozomatli and the Squirrel Nut Zippers are announcing their first set of dates together for 2017 this morning. The “United Together” tour begins March 28th in Tucson, AZ.
“We’ve have a lot of love for the Ozomatli guys and the idea of bringing our different audiences together for one amazing night of music was just too good not to pursue” remarked Squirrel Nut Zippers leader Jimbo Mathus. “I think the Zippers fans are gonna freak out on how amazing Ozo is live and vice versa.”
Unlike other touring parings, this one is already proving to be a collaborative one. The groups are collaborating on a new song for the tour which will be released closer to the launch. Both groups feel this is an important time in the American Story to embrace, remember and celebrate the wealth of cultural diversity that exists in the United States. “We anchor ourselves to a belief that we the actual people of the land are more united than divided” says founding member Chris Phillips.
