This winter… two bands, a documentary film crew, one bus, and a frenchman will take to the road on a breathtaking journey across the Floridian frontier. Join The Dewars, Room Thirteen (F.K.A. Danny), their uproarious entourage, and many stellar supporting bands as they parade through Gainesville, St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Orlando, West Palm Beach, and Miami!

The Tour de Florida is not your average annual check up from a couple of road worn bands on their musical campaign trails. Nor is it a hallmark family getaway trip to disney for the holidays this year. Uniquely its a hybrid fusion of both worlds crunched into one. No one is entirely certain what will come of this state wide escapade but we can be sure to expect an assortment of amateur gambling, hot air ballooning, air boat shenanigans, disney amusements and of course, live shows. This uncharted journey will be captured by a hand selected crew of film and art students out of the University of Florida, set forth to study the behavior of these two bands interacting on one high stage of hardship and glory.

Room Thirteen

Room Thirteen (New Orleans), formerly known as Danny, is setting out for a Florida tour in support of their forth-coming LP “Roccopulco.” A favorite of the locals, Roccopulco is very potent. A delightful mix of unknown origin, this selection includes unexpected sax solos and a harvest of exotic flavorings. Sure, it looks innocent enough but this album packs enough slide guitars and passion fruit juices to stop a crocodile. Inside you will find a mixture of lethargic rhythms, fruit nectar and good old-fashioned organ sounds, this concoction is perfect for a before dinner listen or maybe after a swim.

The shows will stretch from Gainesville to Miami from December 9-17. They will be joined by the Dewars, a Floridian-Australian trans-genre band fronted by twins Anthony and Zachary Dewar. As young songsters they journeyed across wide frontiers capturing the hearts of many by way of song. After years of writing and recording in isolation they have returned to the road with a full band, two nearly finished associate degrees, and a matured sound and fury.
