New Music Announcement - Showboats & Grandstanders

Showboats and Grandstanders is now available for purchase online at the Tommy Conwell Store.


A message from the Tommy Conwell Store - 


Hey! The new Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers album Showboats and Grandstanders drops June 18, and the Release Party is Saturday, June 22 at the Foundry in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. Tommy, Paul, Jim, Rob and Chris will play songs from the new album as well as all your favorites from, well, you know... the 80s! 
Come rock with us as we celebrate the release of our first new album in almost 30 years! CDs will be available at the show, as well as new t-shirts, hats, and more. 

And from the Indiegogo New Music from Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers page: 

--New Rumblers album drops June 18-- 

Hi, 
Our new album, Showboats and Grandstanders, is done and set to drop on June 18. It took longer than we had hoped, but the whole idea was to have the freedom to work the way we wanted to, and that's what we did. 
We couldn't have done it without you, so we are forever grateful. Advance downloads, cds, and magnets will be sent out by June 10 so that you have them before the release date. Thank you for you support! 
Tommy
