With a previous show at Coachella, forthcoming appearances at the KAABOO Del Mar and Bourbon and Beyond festivals, two critically-acclaimed albums in the last three years, numerous headlining appearances at festivals and sold-out solo shows, “something of a renaissance” seems like an understatement for Squeeze. The band will bring their scintillating live performances to the USA with a mix of hits and rarities that span their 45-year career both as Squeeze and solo artists.

Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have been compared to Lennon and McCartney since “Take Me I’m Yours”, their first release in 1978, blasted the band into the forefront of the UK music scene. Following hits including “Tempted”, “Black Coffee in Bed”, “Hourglass”, “Cool For Cats”, “Up The Junction” and “Pulling Mussels From The Shell”, Squeeze established themselves as a vital part of the quintessential rock scene. These hits also established Difford and Tilbrook as two of the most prolific songwriters of their time with each amassing a wealth of melody-rich earworms over the past four decades as both Squeeze and solo artists. “The Difford and Tilbrook Songbook 2019” tour will capture the works of two of the most talented songsmiths working today.
