The Record Company have added new summer dates to their Give It Back To You 10th Anniversary Tour, with tickets for the new additions going on sale Friday, March 20 at 10 a.m. CT. The band is performing the album in its entirety across all dates, celebrating the self-produced debut that launched their career a decade ago. A deluxe expanded edition of the album is out now on 2-LP gatefold vinyl, CD, and digital.
The reissue is a genuine artifact. Both the vinyl and CD preserve the original album alongside the band’s very first concert from 2013, recorded in the same room where the album was made, bassist Alex Stiff’s Los Angeles living room. The digital edition goes further, adding extra mixes, demos, live recordings, covers, and previously unreleased material. For a record that was made with a couple of microphones and nothing to lose, it holds up as well as anything from that era.
Give It Back To You earned a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album at the 59th Grammy Awards, spent 42 weeks on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart, and produced AAA radio number one hit “Off the Ground.” Follow-up single “Rita Mae Young” peaked at number 12 on the AAA chart and held the Top 40 for more than nine weeks. Chris Vos, Alex Stiff, and Marc Cazorla built those results from scratch, self-financing and self-producing every note.
The new summer dates extend the run through September, with highlights including a July 4 slot at Red Rocks Amphitheatre opening for Blues Traveler and Better Than Ezra, two dates supporting Larkin Poe, a co-headline date with Donavon Frankenreiter at Rockaway Summer Series in Queens, and a closing weekend at Telluride Blues and Brews Festival.
Vos puts the milestone plainly: “This means we’ve survived, we’re still here, still brothers, and we still have the opportunity to make more music.” Ten years on, the songs still hit.
