Frontman Brendan B Brown, backed by vocalist Gabrielle Sterbenz, continues a tour of intimate acoustic shows across 49 states celebrating this timeless classic, and so much more.

This long-time backing vocalist steps into the foreground with her new album “Icky Guy,” out October 30th.

As a backing vocalist, Gabrielle has worked on The Tonight Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, with Robbie Dupree (“Steal Away”), and as a backing vocalist and rhythm guitar player for Mike Doughty, of the band “Soul Coughing.”
