The RT's ALL AGES The RT's The RT's at SPACE in Evanston, IL // Doors: 6pm | Show: 7pm // Tickets: $15– $25 GENRE: Rock “Their live performances can turn into a Saturday night church meeting, fueled by the fact that all five of them can sing. You’re gonna love these guys.” — Rick McNulty, KUTX 98.9, Austin Brooklyn-based five-piece The RT's (formerly The Rad Trads) are known for their eclectic take on rock n’ roll, which mixes punk rock energy, horn drenched soul & precise musicianship with a lighthearted but sincere delivery. It’s a sound that has come sharply into focus on the band’s latest release, See You Again. The album’s nine songs, produced and mixed by Chris Peck, capture the band’s wide sonic palette and successfully encapsulate the diverse stylings of their five lead vocalists. “The Good Stuff,” a meditative fan favorite, showcases the band’s elegant harmonies, and the raw honesty of the piece leaves the listener longing for summer nights past. 99 in October is a humorous commentary on global warming and asks an honest question — as balmy temperatures continue into the fall, should we continue this summer romance as well? When it’s time to tour again, The RT's will be ready to return “home” to the call of the open road. At the time of this writing, The RT's have performed across four continents (including 10 European Tours), 18 countries and 44 states. The diverse list of artists that the band has performed with in that time includes Buddy Guy, Tom Jones, They Might Be Giants, Taj Mahal, Charles Bradley and The Lone Bellow, among others. When not playing with The RT's, members of the band have performed or recorded with artists such as St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Deer Tick, Sarah Jarosz, Buck Meek & Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief, Lee Fields & the Expressions, David Duchovony, and Christopher Paul Stelling. “We’ve loved every second of performing, making new friends and seeing the world,” songwriter & bassist Michael “Big Red” Harlen reminisced. “We can’t wait to get back in there and do it again.” ARTIST WEBSITE The RT's SPACE is a live music hall in Evanston, Ill., established in 2008.
