To support the release of their brilliant third studio album, Waving From A Sea, Michigan Rattlers kicked off their mammoth Waving From A Sea Tour in Columbus, OH. With 40+ stops in major markets including Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Austin, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Nashville, Boston and more, this intimate set of club dates is one you won’t want to miss. Tickets are on-sale now – PRESS HERE for more information, and the full routing can be found below.

In tandem with today’s tour kickoff, the band has also released a live video for their single “Lilacs Bloom.” Shot at The Treehouse in Nashville, this stripped-down rendition amplifies the song’s sincerity – taking listeners on a journey that lingers long after the last note fades. The haunting chorus is mesmerizing over a delicate blend of piano and guitar as frontman Graham Young explores the passage of time, the weight of nostalgia, and the search for meaning—a theme echoed beautifully throughout the entirety of the band’s new album. PRESS HERE to watch.

On Waving From A Sea, the bands pivotal Dominic John Davis produced record (Jack White, Willie Nelson, Greensky Bluegrass), the Petoskey, Michigan-based rock & roll group with a blend of folk, Americana and country influences, pairs the heavy hitting lyricism they’re known for with a newfound sonic depth, evolving alongside the characters in their songs. Waving From A Sea reckons with the heartbreaking reality of becoming old enough to know that your dreams might not come true in the ways you thought they would. It’s about making the journey from adolescence into adulthood and fighting to find a place in the world. It’s their most immersive album to date, and standout singles such as “Heaven” and “Gridlock (Just The Sky)” sit at the perfect intersection of The War on Drugs and Bruce Springsteen.
