Funk and soul group The Motet announce their 2023 Fall tour, a 28-city journey, with three stops in New York, introducing the band’s new lead singer Sarah Clarke to fans and audiences nationwide.
With the tour spanning from Sept. 9 through Dec. 3, the Denver-based ensemble is excited to bring Clarke along with the rest of the crew: Dave Watts, Joey Porter, Garrett Sayers, Ryan Jalbert, and Drew Sayers.
Clarke is a vocalist and songwriter from Portland, Oregon, known for her powerful voice and widespread range of recognition through her talent and performances. Having toured in the past with bands such as Dirty Revival and San Francisco-based soul psych-rock band Con Brio, Clarke brings immense experience and ability to the veteran group.
As for The Motet, the band formed over two decades ago, blending funk, rock, soul, and jazz into their extensive discography.
Coming off the release of their tenth studio album All Day in January, the band continues to find new, innovative ways to expand their music horizon. Additionally, The Motet believes the upcoming tour and the incorporation of Clarke into the group will make for more excitement.
Musically, we [The Motet] are a great fit, I feel pushed to perform at the top of my game because I know they are going to bring it every night. Interpersonally, we gel wonderfully and it’s been a true pleasure to get to know them.”
– Sarah Clarke
Performing six headlining slots at Red Rocks, sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Bottlerock, Electric Forest, and countless sell-out shows, the group ensures that their upcoming Fall tour will be yet another amazing experience for fans and the ensemble.
