Boy & Bear Announce North American Tour: Idolator Exclusive

Australian folk-rockers Boy & Bear will tour North America in early 2014 in support of their sophomore set Harlequin Dream. The band has built up a loyal following since making their US live debut at Lollapalooza in 2011 and will, no doubt, continue to win new fans with their unique approach to storytelling and superb musicianship.

While you wait to see the Aussies in action, check out Boy & Bear’s soothing new single “Southern Sun”. The lilting acoustic guitar-pop gem finds the band in top flight and gives you some idea of the treasures that await on their new LP, which already reached number one in Australia and snagged three ARIA nominations. Listen to the track and see their tour dates after the jump.
