On April 1st, Sturgel Simpson is hitting the road as Johnny Blue skies with his band The Dark Clouds.

They're launching the Mutiny for the Mass' tour to support the album Mutiny After Midnight.

It kicks off early September in Austin, Texas at the Moody Center, then snakes through major spots like Seattle, Chicago, and New York, wrapping up.

On Halloween and Lexington, Kentucky at Reparina, no opening acts just straight fire all night.

That album is crushing you right now, sitting at number three on the Billboard 200, all from physical sales alone.

Fans are snapping up those vinyls and CDs like crazy, proving real music still moves units in the streaming era.

Word on the street is Simpson's alias switch has folks buzzing, blending his country roots with fresh psych vibes.

The Dark Clouds bring that tight gritty sound live, and tickets are already moving fast on sites like Ticketmaster and StubHub.

Coming up quick, Johnny Blue skies and the crew drop a 7-inch vinyl for Recre Store Day on April 18th.

They're covering proco harms a wider shade of pale and William Bells you don't miss your water.

Classic flips that fit their moody style, perfect.

Meanwhile, the man himself pops up in the upcoming film The Lonely Woman from Boy Harsher, sharing screen time with FKA Twigs and Bonnie Prince Billy.

It's in post-production now, so keep eyes peeled for that drop while the tour lights up Arena's coast to coast.
