Hot Buttered Rum has announced dates for their 2023 Spring Meltdown Tour. The newly announced dates include a 4-show Colorado run, and a 4-show Northwest run before the band will make their way down the Pacific Coast to Southern California rounding out their spring tour. HBR pick things up this weekend with their previously announced shows in Point Arena and Arcata, California. Up to date news and tour information can be found at hotbutteredrum.net.

Along with the tour announcement the band is thrilled to share a brand new song titled “Simple Story,” as a companion to the recently released album Shine All Night.

‘“Simple Story’ is about the stories we tell ourselves,” explains Nat Keefe. “In myself, I notice the desire to fit events of my life into a narrative, for instance: ‘I am THIS kind of person so when THAT happened it meant X, Y and Z.’ These kind of constructs can be useful, but I try to not mistake them for what is real. There’s a different agenda at work here… A great writer named Pema Chodron really brought this home for me. She said that things are rarely the tidy story we tell ourselves, it’s usually more complex and changing. Myself” - Nat Keefe, Hot Buttered Rum
