The Acorn Release Heron Act, Touring with Fleet Foxes, Elbow

The Acorn – Heron Act
The Acorn - Heron Act

On Tuesday (Feb 17) The Acorn released a new record called Heron Act which is a collection of B-sides, rarities, and live takes. (If you were a fan of Glory Hope Mountain, you’ll probably enjoy Heron Act as it has alternate versions of a lot of GHM tracks on it.) Also, the band is about to head out on tour with Fleet Foxes and Elbow where they’ll be playing some major venues in the UK including the Wembley Arena in London.
