Ratboys Unveil Singin’ to an Empty Chair Deluxe with PUP, Wild Pink

The band paired the announcement with the release of their first NPR Tiny Desk Concert. During the set, they performed older favorite“Black Earth, WI” as well as two songs off Singin’ to an Empty Chair: “Penny in the Lake” and “What’s Right?” They’ll bring their live show to a number of UK, European, and North American cities later this year on a tour with Smidley, the solo project of Foxing frontman Conor Murphy.
