Butch Walker announces fall dates, new EP; stream two tracks now

Butch Walker, who is on the road now to perform in select cities where his documentary, Out Of Focus, is screening, recently announced a new EP and fall tour.

The EP, slated for release Sept. 17 via Dangerbird Records, is called Peachtree Battle. The decision to release the record, originally intended to be a full-length, as an EP was due to Walker's father's declining health, and singer's desire to let him hear one final release. Sadly, Butch's father, “Big” Butch Walker, passed away on Aug. 21 at the age of 72and Peachtree Battle will be dedicated to his memory. 

Check out an announcement from Butch:

“My Father was my hero, my best friend, and biggest fan… he would have wanted me to do this and i plan on doing him proud. So come out and celebrate with me, in honor of the MAN.

Here’s to “Big” Butch Walker… I hope you enjoy your front row seat at the shows…

-“Lil” BUTCH”

Peachtree Battle is currently available for pre-order on iTunes, as well as on CD and vinyl from the singer's site (with an Oct. 22 release date). Below, you'll find the EP's artwork and tracklisting:

1. I've Been Waiting For This
2. Peachtree Battle
3. Favorite Son
4. Coming Home
5. Let It Go Where It's Supposed To
