Yep Roc recording artist Josh Rouse has announced a run of US west coast tour dates in June. 

His most recent album, The Happiness Waltz, was released through Yep Roc in March 2013 to critical acclaim. In addition, the label recently reissued Rouse’s seminal albums, 1972 and Nashville, on vinyl.

Josh recently recorded a cover of the Lindsey Buckingham solo hit “Trouble” to be released on Record Store Day as one side of a split 7” vinyl shared with label mates The Autumn Defense.

The Happiness Waltz is very much an album in the present, featuring some of Rouse’s most personal songs to date and is filled with Rouse’s thoughtful, delicate and infectious pop craft.

Rouse reunited with producer Brad Jones, who produced and engineered 1972 (2003) and Nashville (2005), which were reissued on vinyl in late 2013.
