Barclay Crenshaw, celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to Dirtybird Records, will embark on a transformative journey with his 2024 headline tour, Open Channel. Departing from the familiar house sound associated with his Claude VonStroke persona, Crenshaw ventures into the burgeoning realms of bass music. The announcement of tour dates at iconic venues like Webster Hall along with the highly anticipated Texas Eclipse festival serves as a herald of a new musical era. The unveiling of this 13-stop tour is a precursor to the long-awaited release of his upcoming album, “Open Channel,” scheduled for release this spring via Easier Said.
Ahead of his tour, Barclay Crenshaw recently released a thunderous collaboration with Of The Trees called “Blue Mile ft. “Strategy”. This track, which mixes experimental bass and trap with some original UK vocals from Strategy, made its debut at his Red Rocks show, a perfect showcase of Crenshaw's diverse musical style.
“I search and search through countless genres and experiment so you don't have to. I want to play new music that makes you say, 'Wow.' Your algorithmic playlist is just a formula that echoes the songs you like until you're completely pigeonholed. Let's start a community of explorers that connects over great tunes and isn't controlled by computers.” – Barclay Crenshaw
