THE 19TH STREET BAND

The 19th Street Band are delighted to be on tour with their recently released album, Near Perfect! From touching on the heartstrings to lifting the spirits to remembering that life is just a beautiful mess, these songs capture the lively energy of The 19th Street Band. The band also pays tribute to Philip Donnelly with a recording of his #1 hit song, “Livin’ in These Troubled Times” After the release of their album, they recorded “Cover Me” written by the Boss (Springsteen). Their rendition honors the brilliance of Bruce’s original while capturing the spirit & essence of The19th Street Band, turning the song into a duet with a fresh modern twist. The album & single are both currently receiving air play on a hundred different radio stations throughout the UK, including BBC Radio and receiving rave reviews from all the leading music magazines throughout the UK and Ireland.
“An album of positive intensity, a sound that drives home the point that perfection is exactly what you present, it is your story, it is your tale told and created, nobody really has the right to question its own authority of pleasure that it offers. Near Perfect…impeccable and unspoiled.”
– Ian D. Hall, Liverpool Sound and Vision

“In truth, there isn’t a single track that doesn’t earn its place here.” – Dai Jeffries, Folking.com
