Join Ray LaMontagne on the Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour. 

Ray's vast catalog spans nine full length records, chart topping radio singles, and a Grammy®  win, in addition to multiple Grammy nominations. This year will prove to be an exciting one for LaMontagne as he heads out on the road celebrating the anniversary of his first full length album, Trouble, playing the album in its entirety as well as songs from across his catalog. 

With a career spanning from 1999 to today, Ray LaMontagne is a folk artist you’ll want to know the name of. His nine studio albums showcase a distinctive style of singing, which some have compared to Van Morrison and Tim Buckley.  

LaMontagne has been nominated twice for a Grammy Award®, and was awarded the Grammy for the Best Contemporary Folk Album for God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise, along with his collaborator the Pariah Dogs. In addition, LaMontagne won three Boston Music Awards for his debut album — awarded for Best Male Singer-Songwriter, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year — and was given the title of Best Voice in 2006 by Esquire. 

LaMontagne has shown mastery in genres such as folk, country, rock, pop, and soul, and continues to be a musical force to be reckoned with.

Of this landmark anniversary, LaMontagne has written the following personal note to his fans: 

As many of you know, last September was the 20th anniversary of the release of Trouble. Twenty years. Two Decades. That's a lot of water under the bridge. Every cell in my body has changed three times over in that time. I have been three times reborn. 

There are moments in your life when you need to place a marker. Some people think that it is brave, or fearless, to never look back. I don’t believe that. For the simple reason that if you never look back you will never see how far you have come. This year I place a sign post: twenty years of Trouble.  

When Trouble was initially released Vinyl was considered a dead format, never to breathe again 

Digital audio was the new King. As we know this has proved untrue. Each year more and more music lovers are listening to Vinyl and appreciating it for its depth and breadth of sound, for its physical heft, for its tangible realness. Over the past few months Brian Lee and Bob Jackson at Waygate Mastering have remastered the album for the first time specifically for Vinyl. And I have to say, it sounds incredible. They have managed to bring out subtleties in the vocals, the instrumentation, that were somehow lost previously. It sounds as if a sonic veil has been lifted. I cannot thank them enough. 

To further honor this moment I will be hitting the road later this summer for the Trouble 20th Anniversary Tour, playing the album top to tail for the first time since it was released. I hope you will come out and join me and my friends and help us celebrate this moment in time. It wouldn’t be the same without you.
