press release: To mark the 10th year anniversary of their first entrance onto the Billboard charts - 2008’s “Hideaway” - The Weepies are headlining 22 shows with a band tour across the US. Singer-songwriters Deb Talan & Steve Tannen began writing together the night they met, and soon formed folk-pop duo The Weepies. They married and had three children, rarely touring but continuing to release music, making 7 records over 10 years. They quietly sold more than a million records, with 30 million views on YouTube, and Spotify streams of over 90 million. “We never got to tour behind the original Hideaway record,” says Steve Tannen, “so for the stars to align 10 years later feels magical.”

“It’s unusual to get a second chance to do something like this, so we’re going all out,” says Deb. The tour will kick off at the Mission Creek Festival in the Weepies’ adopted hometown of Iowa City, and finish 8 weeks later just south of Vancouver, home of Nettwerk Records, The Weepies’ record label for “Hideaway.”
