Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have set May 29 as the official release date for their second album, Here. The group started work on the project in Bogalusa, LA and are currently putting the finishing touches on the album in Ojai, CA.
The ensemble will also join members of Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show at the SXSW Film Conference and Festival on Saturday, March 17 for world premiere of Big Easy Express. Directed by Jack Johnson manager and noted filmmaker Emmett Malloy, the film follows the three bands as they traveled across the American Southwest by train over the course of a week, playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the way. All three bands will join Malloy and the film’s producers for Q&A and will also perform an exclusive live acoustic set.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will then launch a nationwide tour starting in Los Angeles, CA, headlining the iconic Greek Theatre and kick off its 2012 Season on May 4. The following night the band will headline Santa Barbara’s Santa Barbara Bowl for the first time. The tour will cross the country and include a headlining performance at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN and stop in Canada before it winds down on June 1 at the Wakarusa Festival in Ozark, AR.
