ALO Tour d’Amour Arrives at Belly Up Tavern
January 31
ALO’s 18th iteration of their annual Tour d’Amour. The jam-pop four-piece is returning to the West Coast to hit some of their favorite venues. The run of shows will begin in southern California, then move on to central California, with a centerpiece visit to the regularly sold-out Fillmore in San Francisco. The tour will wrap up with a Pacific Northwest run through Portland and a two-night stop in Seattle.
The band had a busy 2024, writing and recording new music, touring Colorado extensively, and playing festivals nationally. 2025 promises to be another very busy one for the band, with more stops around the country to be announced soon.
Previous iterations of Tour d’Amour have received rave reviews from long-time taste-makers like JamBase, Glide Magazine, Santa Barbara Independent and many more. Of the band’s Santa Barbara, CA show in March of 2023, Santa Barbara Independent wrote, “ALO can still deliver the fun, especially for a nostalgic crowd whose connections to the band are longstanding and deep-rooted… They hit SOhO with a vengeance.” The publication concluded, “The entire show was well worth staying up late for.” Glide Magazine praised the March 25 show at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco, CA, stating, “ALO took the stage with their signature positivity and the first song of the set, ‘Make It Back Home’ hit the spot just right. Everything was on point, tight, and practiced as ever.”
Each year, Tour d’Amour celebrates love, but it also celebrates an ongoing journey that began in Saratoga, CA in the late ‘80’s when Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz (guitar/vocals), Zach Gill (keyboards/vocals) and Steve Adams (bass/vocals) met in middle school. Drummer/vocalist Ezra Lipp – a fixture in the Northern California creative scene where he cut his teeth with the likes of Phil Lesh, Sean Hayes and countless others – joined several years ago.
