What was once a small garage band from Osgood has cracked the big time and is now announcing their tour dates.

In support of their recently released album Empty Drawer, 650north is hitting the road. The band, in their ever-evolving summer tour, will open for nationally known group Seven Mary Three for three shows. The first is August 21 at Phoenix Hill in Louisvilile. The second is August 22 at the Music Mill in Indianapolis, and the third will be on August 23 at the Osgood Grub Company.

General admission tickets for all three shows went on sale Friday, June 20. Tickets for the Louisville and Indianapolis shows will be available at all Ticketmaster outlets.

Band members include Matt Schuerman on vocals and guitar, Andrew Vollmer on guitar and vocals, Josh Lohrum on drums and Chris Bultman on bass guitar.

The band’s album was produced by Chris Henry of Buckcherry at Quad Studios in Nashville, Tenn., along with engineers Kyle Ginther and George Tutko (Duran Duran, John Mellencamp, Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones). The album was released in February by Breakout Records. Empty Drawer also featured keyboardist Rami Jaffee of the Wallflowers and Foo Fighters, who provided his signature sound on three of the album’s tracks. Jaffee’s B3 organ swirls under the melodies of “A Cautionary Tale” as well as “Empty Drawer” and “Afraid of Falling.”

650north has also toured with Ryan Cabrera and Josh Hoge and have opened for Guns’N’Roses in Europe.

The band’s tour mates, Seven Mary Three, promise to deliver a compelling set of songs that live up to their title. They have sold more than 3.5 million albums worldwide, with hits like “Cumbersome,” “Water’s Edge” and “Wait.”
