August 5, 2015 - THE WORD - Robert Randolph, John Medeski and the North Mississippi Allstars (Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson and Chris Chew) have added additional dates to their fall tour, which includes stops at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC on October 14th and New York's Webster Hall on October 16th. The fall tour kicks off with two shows in San Francisco's Fillmore Theater on October 1st & 2nd. Additional stops include Los Angeles' Fonda Theater October 3rd, Concord Music Hall in Chicago, October 12 and wrapping up in Boston on October 17th at the Paradise Rock Club. Joining THE WORD will be special guests Amy Helm and The Handsome Strangers.

See complete list of dates below.

Soul Food, the band's new album has been garnering rave reviews since its release May 4th. Rolling Stone cited, "...the second mostly---instrumental chapter in the quintet's exploration of the sacred space where gospel, jazz, blues and improvised rock's X-factor joyously intersect". New York Times noted "It's a catalog of strengths, a romp through sacred steel music, blues and Southern soul that often sounds as if it could have been recorded in heated performance."
