Pete's got his own gear store?! Head on over to his reverb.com listing to pickup some of the items he used during the MSG, Red Rocks, and Greek Theater shows with Dispatch, making his solo record, and a few other interesting pieces he's picked up along the way: https://reverb.com/shop/peters-gear-emporium-181 A few notes from Pete on some of the listings: The Moog System 15 Synth is a sound beast. Dial in fat and fuzzy tones. I’ve used this baby on a bunch of recent recordings. Sure to dazzle the next owner with outer space sonic explorations!! The Sunburst Martin D 18 Marquis has a beautiful and open sound. I’ve used this guitar on many a Dispatch gig. Its sound plugged-in is great - actually sounds like an acoustic guitar. The next owner will be very happy for sure!

Dispatch is heading back to Mountain Jam Festival this Summer along with Willie Nelson, Gov't Mule, The Avett Brothers, The Revivalists, Michael Franti and Spearhead, and Twiddle! Passes go on sale Friday at 10AM ET: https://mountainjam.com/tickets/

Remembering back to last summer... Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is always such an honor to play. There's no other venue like it and the energy every time is indescribable. We absolutely had to make it a part of our Summer Stops! See you June 9th Red Rocks, we can't wait to get back. Who was there last year dancing through the rain? Who's coming this year?

We're proud to announce the Dispatch Summer Stops, a series of summer shows in iconic outdoor venues. Dispatch will be hitting up Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Colorado with The Record Company, Thompson's Point in Maine with Moon Taxi and Wolf Trap in Virginia with Anderson East. Tickets and info at: https://facebook.com/dispatchmusic/events Tickets for Red Rocks and Thomspon’s Point are on sale now. Wolf Trap is a series show that has a member presale starting February 15th at 10AM local with the Dispatch Fan Presale starting February 20th at 10AM local with code: WIMPY In true Dispatch fashion, each day will begin with a service project. It'll be your chance to hang with the band while making a difference in your community. If you're road tripping out to a show, it'll also be a great opportunity to meet some fellow Dispatch fans.

3.9 million views?! Never expected this to be the biggest Dispatch video on YouTube.

Thank you for joining us this past year... let’s rock out in 2019 🙂 📸 Mike Smith

Now this is a throwback... "The General" on The Late Late Show almost 16 years ago. Who watched this one live?

We truly have the best fans! Captured this amazing moment of the packed crowd in Milwaukee at Turner Hall taking it away during "The General" on our acoustic run a couple weeks ago. 🎥 Mike Smith

Folks were so excited about the audio from this video that we decided to put it out officially! "Letter to Lady J" (Acoustic) is out now on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all other places you listen to music. Check out the original video below or listen in the comments.

The Violence Against Women Act is set to expire December 21. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen. Call 202-225-3121 #VAWA

"One Word of Lie" is off of Location 13 (Deluxe). It's about the story of a man who’s been running from his past but not really knowing from what. A recent realization makes him question everything he thought to be true and sends his mind spinning.

We had the honor of playing WeishFest in Chicago the other night on behalf of the Weishar family who lost their son Andrew to cancer 6 years ago... Their charity, Weish4Ever, has been raising $$ to give to families impacted by cancer since his passing, and have allowed their personal loss to grow into a powerful story of paying it forward in their community...

What do you think: did Brad hit the jumper with a Chad hand in the face? Thanks to the Milwaukee Bucks for having us out for a pre-show warm-up!! 📸: Micah Davis, Mike Smith

Madison, The Sylvee you were amazing last night! Love having Raye Zaragoza with us for this run. She sat in on “Came For the Fire” last night, check it out - and see you tonight Milwaukee at Turner Hall and WeishFest in Chicago tomorrow!!

It’s always great to be reunited - this time for some midwest acoustic shows! Kicking it off tomorrow night in Madison, followed by Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit - limited tickets left for each!! See you all soon!

The acoustic run starts up this week in Madison! Tracked down the setlists from the last time we were at some of these places. What do you wanna hear? Can’t wait to get back out there!

"Born & Razed" is a new bonus song off of Location 13 (Deluxe)! It's about refugee children that have barely known safety and security. They were born into this world only to be knocked down (razed) - separated from their families, hiding - never knowing where their next meal is or where they’ll lay their heads. Looking for some semblance of normal, they are living the fall out of war and violence. The older one tells a story to the young ones at night so that they don’t give up hope. It’s a story about a horse that can’t walk but when the moon is just right, she grows wings and saves kids who are just like them. She saves children from the ocean, from the cold mountains or from the dry desert and brings them to a place that’s warm and safe.

Just got word Amazon.com has some of the new Location 13 Deluxe vinyl for Prime free shipping! Copies are available here: http://bit.ly/Amazon_Loc13Lux
