October 2, 2012--Rising Nashville five-piece, Moon Taxi, are thrilled to announce their new Fall 2012 tour dates. Embarking on their co-headlining run with Tea Leaf Green in early November, the band will go on to hit DC, NYC and Philly as they head across the East Coast. The band will also be playing two very special holiday shows, on Halloween at Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa, and back home in Nashville for a New Year's Eve performance at 3rd and Lindsley to round out the year - full tour routing is below.

This news comes fresh off the heels of Moon Taxi's dynamite performance at Starry Nights Festival this past weekend. AmericanSongwriter.com is featuring exclusive photos of the band from the festival - PRESS HERE<http://www.americansongwriter.com/2012/10/moon-taxi-announce-fall-tour-with-tea-leaf-green/> to check them out!

Moon Taxi, who delivered two outstanding performances at this year's Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza festivals, continue to ride the success of their debut full-length album, Cabaret. The band, who PasteMagazine.com boasts as one of, "12 Tennessee Bands You Should Listen to Now," has performed with The Black Keys, Matisyahu, Dirty Heads, Dr. John, Galactic, Tea Leaf Green and more. Cabaret - produced by guitarist Spencer Thomson, guest-produced by Hank Sullivant and mixed by GRAMMY award-winning sound engineer Vance Powell (The Raconteurs) - weaves the magnetic energy of the unsigned quintet's live rock show into a rousing studio sound that Relix describes as, "...a dreamy, highly-polished effort with electro beats, banjos, big hooks...the band successfully bridges the gap between jam and indie."

Praise for Moon Taxi:
"12 Tennessee Bands You Should Listen to Now....This five-man band treats preserving "breathing space" in their music like an art form." - PasteMagazine.com

"Moon Taxi has been one of Nashville's best kept secrets since its formation in 2006. But if Bonnaroo is any indication, the secret is out." - American Songwriter

"When Nashville, Tenn.-based Moon Taxi takes the stage at Bonnaroo this summer, it will be somewhat of a homecoming gig for the quintet...Moon Taxi quickly gained favor in the jam-rock scene... with their ambitious sophomore album Cabaret -a dreamy, highly-polished effort with electro beats, banjos, big hooks and one track with Matisyahu-the band successfully bridges the gap between jam and indie." - Relix

"The high energy and virtuosity of this band is not to be missed." - Jambase.com

"They're really fucking good at what they do." - Nashville Scene

"They already have explosive Bonnaroo and Forecastle performances under their belt, and will be sure to turn some heads at Lollapalooza." - Louisville.com
