Reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration officially kicks off their “Live From Paradise!” tour tonight in Albuquerque, NM, bringing the aloha spirit and good vibes across the country this spring and summer. The 43-date outing, featuring special guests Pepper, Fortunate Youth and Katastro, marks the group’s largest tour to date since their formation nearly 15 years ago. They will play in Baltimore on Sunday, July 21st at the MECU Pavilion

Of the tour, guitarist Micah Brown recently explained to Billboard.com, “Every night we create a little bit of paradise for the people that are coming to the show. Live From Paradise was kind of a tongue-in-cheek term where every night, wherever you are, it’s your paradise. It is a positive healthy way of looking at life.”

The upcoming shows will feature a mix of hits and rarities off Iration’s six studio albums, including their most recent self-titled release from 2018 (Three Prong Records). Lead vocalist and guitarist Micah Pueschel described the Iration album to Billboard as “extremely eclectic” and added, “we do a lot of different things and we try to make good songs. We don’t really care what genre it is or if it fits into one kind of bag.” As Billboard‘s Taylor Mims pointed out, “the album stretches out for more than an hour without ever losing its captivating reggae-tinged vibes, which makes it an ideal accompaniment for the list of outdoor stages they’ll headline this summer.” PRESS HERE to read the full Billboard interview.

The video is a time piece for the band and tells the story of our journey from garage band to where we are now.” PRESS HERE to watch the new video for “Stay The Course” and PRESS HERE to listen to Iration.
