Singers and band start and struggle to get their careers going by playing anywhere they can…which sometimes leads to performances in what we call “dive bars,” kind of hole-in-the-wall out of the way places. To celebrate their upcoming album Happy Endings, which comes out on August 25th, Old Dominion is heading back to their roots with a special run of shows. Old Dominion has partnered with premium light lager brand Bud Light to provide fans with a chance to see the guys in very intimate settings for the month of August. It started with a show in Nashville, but now has grown to include six more dates. The dive bar tour stops now include shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Cincinnati and New York City. (below is a list of the dates and venues for each city)

The guys in Old Dominion talk about the the lyric “Chase after the dream, don’t chase after the money” from their song “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart,” the first single from their album Happy Endings–which comes out August 25th (:35)
Trevor: “Yeah, I mean amazingly they both worked out. (laugh)”
Matthew: (laugh)
Brad: (laugh) “Amazing uproarious laughter after the…”
Matthew: “It was kind of maniacal”
Brad: “yeah”
Matthew: (maniacal laugh)
Trevor: (maniacal laugh)
Matthew: “we got the dream and the money!”
Trevor: “No, I think if you’re chasing the end result for anything, anytime, you’re chasing the wrong thing. Especially for what we do for a living with music, I mean it’s very rare that everything works out that way, if you’re not doing it because you love it, you’re just running down the wrong path. You have to really be doing something that you love to do, and WOULD do for free anyway.”
