Eisley Releasing the Valley and Touring

Tracy Heck
Eisley will release their first album in four years The Valley on March 1 via Equal Vision Records.

The 11-track set was recorded at Rosewood Studios in their hometown of Tyler, Texas, with producer/engineers Gary Leach and Austin Deptula (LeAnn Rimes), and mixed by Andy Freeman at Bay Area Tone in San Francisco.

A free stream and MP3 of "Ambulance" from "The Valley" is available now through the widget at http://www.eisley.com/dl/index.html.

The album's title refers to the emotional turmoil that the DuPree sisters, who front Eisley, experienced as they crafted their third album: Sherri enduring a failed marriage; Chauntelle, a broken engagement; and Stacy, a painful breakup. The only relationship that ended on their terms was the split with Warner Bros. Records, the label that released their first two albums and several EPs.

Promising to bring listeners through the band's darkest and most trying times, "The Valley" reveals their strength, patience and perseverance.

As previously announced, Eisley will precede the release of "The Valley" with a U.S. tour in February, supporting Rooney on all dates.

The 21-date run begins February 2 in Albuquerque and includes stops in Kansas City, the Twin Cities, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Washington DC, Nashville, Denver and other markets.

The tour will be making a stop in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, February 8 at the Intersection and will then be in Pontiac the next night at the Crofoot Ballroom.
