Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band<\/a> have announced a headlining tour and shared \u201cBetter If You Make Me,\u201d the final preview of their upcoming album New Threats From the Soul<\/a>.<\/em> Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Tijah Bumgarner<\/a> that was shot in Charleston, West Virginia, and Lexington, Kentucky. Watch it below.<\/p>\n \u201cI was blown away by the extent to which, wherever we went, all Tijah had to do was say, \u2018Hi, I\u2019m a professor at Marshall University, and we\u2019re here working on a student film,\u2019\u201d Davis said in a press statement. \u201cNext thing you know, they\u2019d be welcoming me onto their boat, letting me inside the cockpit of a real<\/em> fucking airplane, unattended, no questions asked. At one point, the mayor of Charleston saw us filming at one of the bike race locations, walked up to us, and kissed me on the cheek while I was fully bloodied up in fight scene makeup, hahaha. The presence of a camera has a mysteriously bewitching effect on people.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band head out on tour next month in support of the new LP. The tour begins on August 6, in Louisville, Kentucky. From there, they hit up a few Midwestern cities before flying to Europe for a long leg of shows. Upon returning to the United States, the band will then play over a dozen other gigs.
