The sad truth is that most fans of musicians expect music to save and fulfill the musician's life. As our careers roll on, this idea is loaded. Although we are all willing to be underpaid by listeners for our work to be heard, the burden is on our families to keep us alive. - I
Here is a little sneak peek into what is in store for you next weekend! Live from a completely empty Fort Adams, we can't wait for you to see the whole thing. Deer Tick & Friends tickets here:
Kavanaugh is a petty, small, insecure loser. His conduct in the hearing alone is enough to prove he’s unqualified. Not to mention he’s likely a creep in deeply suppressed denial. Republicans total suppression of their own counsel is telling. - I
Had this wacky dream last that
@bobdylan
&
@JasonIsbell
were playing a set together and I requested bob play “dark eyes”. I wake up to find he’s playing right next to us in Clearwater tonight. Weird! - Ian
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out this weekend! Whether it was via the World Wide Web or from inside your car, we appreciate every one of you supporting us and
@Newportfolkfest
. 2020’s been a weird one, but you all have made this year’s after party one for the books.
We just wanted to clear the air. After 9 years of doing our after parties at Newport during the folk fest, next year will be our 10th and final year. We’ve got some big things in the mix and we’re excited to party with you guys one last time.
Love, DT

Hey
@Delta
- Our guitars were removed from our flight into Toronto, screwing us out of a soundcheck at
@FieldTrip
festival. What a way to spend John’s first day as a platinum member. If anything sounds off, everyone please blame
@Delta
.
I'm great, honestly! Just emotionally parsing through the set of suicides and overdoses that plague our community every few years. Not everyone gets to feel as validated as our fans make us feel. Sometimes it's good to let listeners hear a perspective from the horses mouth.👋 - I

, a return visit from Deer Tick. The rockers will be back on the road this fall, following the release of their first new album in seven years.
From "Emotional Contracts," Here's

with "Forgiving Ties."
One time Dr John wrote a note to me at bonnaroo (instigated by my wife) calling me a "Lame ass MF" for not going to speak with him. He was amazing. - Ian
Thank you to
@lukasnelson
for having us last night. That was a very significant evening for our band. Endless thank yous to
@VanessaCarlton
and
@courtneymamusic
for joining us on stage. And thank you nashville for the standing o🤗. We're at Cumberland caverns tonight!
‘Straight Into A Storm’ will begin screening theatrically on June 15th at the
@Roxy_Cinema
Tribeca in NYC with a Q+A from us immediately afterwards. Come join the fun!
It’s almost an immediate turnoff to frame an artist in the shadow/context of a more famous spouse/relative, esp for women. That being said, the new
@amandashires
album is great. Go listen and buy her concert tickets. - I
@JasonIsbell
They always feel compelled to describe a woman by referencing the men she is related to, no matter how accomplished she is or how long she’s been working. That hasn’t changed for me in 40 years.
We are pleased to announce our Please Freakin' Vote Live Stream on Saturday, Sept 19. We'll be performing 'Born On Flag Day' in its entirety! A portion of proceeds will benefit
@HeadCountOrg

Everything about this tweet is amazing. Congrats Keith and everyone at the
@NHLBruins
! Condolences to our Torontonian fans, who have always embraced us in their city. ✌️!
While out on the Twice is Nice tour we recorded an acoustic version of "Smith Hill". There’s a tin whistle and an Irish bouzouki in it. Go on and give it a little listen:
Just see all the fun that can be had with our Mayonnaise Bundle Set which is available at
@partisanrecords
. Mayonnaise will be released next Friday. Have wonderful day.
Tried following our bands favorite brand,
@MillerLite
, but it requires entering a date of birth. Then it occurred to me that Deer Tick the band is not yet of legal drinking age. We are only 15 years old. - Ian
This fall we’re hitting the road with
@deltaspirit
and the theme of the tour is friendship! Presale tickets on sale tomorrow at 10am ET, text DEERTICK to 31996 to get access. We’re looking forward to making memories with them and with you.

We almost let this one pass us by! Releasing these two albums one year ago today spun a year of new highs and incredibly gratifying experiences. Thank you, vol. 1 and vol. 2! For their birthdays, these twins would like you to give them a spin in their honor. ❤️💛
We miss performing live for you, so we're releasing a live album on vinyl. Text DEERTICK to 31996 to get notified when preorders become available 🎉

By my count yesterday was my 29th time seeing
