The last new album from Dowsing was 2019's Sky Coffin, and live performance from the group have been sporadic over the last few years. However, we were excited to see the announcement of four midwest dates this summer and a Festival appearance in Florida in the Fall.

Dowsing's midwest tour with the New Orleans band Shidded will kick off on July 21st at The Red Room.
