Murder By Death add new member, release tour dates

Murder By Death have added Scott Brackett, formerly of Okkervil River, as a full-time member of the band. The multi-instrumentalist has previously toured with the ensemble, and will be joining them on their next headlining tour. Brackett said in a statement, “I started out as a hired gun for them, and we really hit it off; it would have been a shame to leave it at that. So when they offered me a spot, I couldn't say no. The opportunity to make a record and keep touring with them promises too much fun.” The band will be on tour starting June 17 in support of their lastest release, Good Morning, Magpie.

Tour dates are as follows:

 

6/17 – Wichita, KS @ LIV FEST
