Boston’s multi-genre duo Dispatch have announced summer tour dates as part of their Summer Stops concert tour. Per the band, the best tickets are available now through their Fan Presale with code: SUMMER

Dispatch has not released a studio album since 2021’s Break Our Fall but did release last year’s fantastic live album Live From The Boston Woods. The band, which began as a trio in 1996, became a duo after founding bassist Pete Francis Heimbold left the band in 2019.

Frontman Chad Urmston, who has released solo albums under the name Chadwick Stokes, released one of my favorite albums of 2015 with The Horse Comanche. Though Dispatch remains his sole focus his solo discography is truly fantastic work.
