June 11th, 2008 Toubab Krewe Summer Tour

Toubab Krewe hits the road this summer for a tour that takes the band from Alaska to Portugal, with many stops between. They kick things off this weekend at the Starscape Festival in Baltimore before playing dates throughout the Southeast.

The band will spend the July 4th holiday weekend playing several shows in Alaska before capping the U.S. part of the tour with a pair of shows in the Northeast, including a headlining performance at the Festivus for the Restivus in Cabot, VT, an annual festival organized by Toubab Krewe bassist David Pransky.

They will make their European debut at the Festival Músicas do Mundo in Sines, Portugal.

Joining the group for many of the Southeast shows will be special guest artist Rayna Gellert. A world renowned fiddle player best known as a member of Uncle Earl, Gellert is a long time friend and musical collaborator who recently joined the band during their spring tour.
