Catch Allison Iraheta and Halo Circus out on tour in support of their album, Bunny

July 19, 2016

 We are excited that Allison Iraheta and Halo Circus are gearing up to head out on their tour in support of their highly acclaimed debut album, Bunny. In case you missed our review by Patrick O’Heffernan of the album, you can read it here.  Patrick comments about the album, Bunny by Halo Circus may be the most important record of the year,  and perhaps the decade. I don’t say that easily.  I say it because Bunny by Halo Circus is not only a musical triumph, but it uniquely exemplifies and transcends the demographic and cultural change overtaking the United States, the emergence of a new American Latino generation.  This change is a revolution of Millennials and Allison Iraheta and her band Halo Circus is both the spear tip of that revolution and its future, present before us. Halo Circus sings in the key of the second largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world, the USA. The tour is part of a successful crowd funding campaign. The tour has already made history with its successful crowd-funding campaign. Back [Read More]
