REDEYE EMPIRE
VANCOUVER ROCK/REGGAE BAND RELEASE THIRD ALBUM ‘SEA TO SKY’
JANUARY 26 VIA 29 RECORDS

SET FOR U.S. TOUR WITH G.LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE
KICKING OFF FEBRUARY 3

Vancouver’s rock/reggae/pop five-piece REDEYE EMPIRE is set to release their third album SEA TO SKY January 26 via 29 Records. The 11-track set is scheduled to coincide with the band’s 18-city U.S. tour opening for G. Love & Special Sauce. Marking their third U.S. trek, it kicks off February 3 in Oxford, MS and will stop at major venues including House of Blues in New Orleans, The Fillmore in San Francisco and House of Blues Sunset Strip.

REDEYE EMPIRE–Gabe Davis (Vocals/Guitars), Mike Redmond (Vocals/Guitars), Eric Stephenson (Bass), Andre Arsenault (Lead Guitar) and Ryan Davis (Drums)–previously toured the U.S. with G. Love & Special Sauce in 2007 and then with Pepper in 2008.  The band has also shared stages with Michael Franti & Spearhead, Slightly Stoopid, Fishbone and Xavier Rudd, among others. 

About the tour, co-frontman Gabe Davis says, “We are thrilled to be going back on the road with a band we have so much respect for and who has had such a profound influence on our music. G. Love’s fans are amazing, loyal and treated us so well on the last tour. We are definitely excited to perform in front of them again especially since musically, we are a far more complete band then we were three years ago.”

Named after the highway between Vancouver, BC and Whistler, BC.–the hometowns of co-lead vocalists Gabe Davis and Mike Redmond–SEA TO SKY was recorded at GGGarth Richardson’s studio in Vancouver (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine) and was produced by Ben Kaplan (Shakira, Chevelle). The album kicks off with the reggae-inflected ballad “Steal My Heart” and also includes the Wailers-influenced “Roots,” the punked up-ska jams “Oh I Say” and “El Gaucho” and the laid back grooves of “Redeye Redeye,” “Roll Up” and “Take Me Away.”
