Blues-rock powerhouse duo When Rivers Meet have just dropped a double whammy of news that’ll have fans buzzing louder than a Marshall stack cranked to 11. 🤘
Not only are Grace and Aaron Bond hitting the road for a brand-new UK tour, but they’ve also unleashed their latest single “Addicted To You” – the first tantalising taste of their upcoming fourth album. 🥁🎤🎸
The track is pure WRM – gritty, soulful, and dripping with that swampy blues fire that’s made them festival favourites up and down the country. If this is just the starter, the main course (aka album no.4) is going to be tidy, mun. 🍻
Tour dates are set to bring the duo’s trademark thunder to stages across the UK, where you can expect Grace’s powerhouse vocals, Aaron’s riffs that sound like they’ve crawled straight out of the Mississippi mud, and the kind of chemistry that makes you believe rock really is eternal.
Keep your eyes peeled for the full album details soon – but for now, get “Addicted To You” on repeat and grab your tickets before they vanish quicker than a festival pint in the sun. ☀️🍺
