The Low Anthem launches a two-week spring tour of the United States with a headline performance at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, tonight, with former band member Dan Lefkowitz opening. The tour includes several headline shows, sets at the Bonnaroo and Clearwater festivals, and dates with Mumford & Sons. This weekend, The Low Anthem will also give a free in-store performance at Vintage Vinyl in St. Louis Sunday afternoon, prior to their sold-out show with Mumford & Sons at The Pageant. See below for currently scheduled tour dates; for further details and ticket links, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

The band was recently featured on American Public Media's Marketplace, in its Art of Money series, in which they discussed recording their latest Nonesuch release, Smart Flesh, in an abandoned pasta sauce factory in their home state of Rhode Island. You can listen to the piece at marketplace.publicradio.org.

They were also included among the "New Stars of Americana" according to SPIN magazine. During a recent stop in London on their European tour, band member Jeff Prystowsky spoke with SPIN for a video interview about the value and limits of genre. "It's helpful as a first point of entry," he says, "but I don't think any one of them fully describes the sound of a band, because really, the sound of a band is the sound of those four people playing music together."

To pick up a copy of Smart Flesh, head to the Nonesuch Store, where orders include high-quality, 320 kbps MP3s of the album at checkout.
