BILLY BOYD WITH BEECAKE

TO EMBARK ON U.S. EAST COAST TOUR

OCTOBER 6-11, 2009


Actor and musician, Billy Boyd, who starred in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
as Peregrin “Pippin” Took and contributed to the soundtrack with his
original song “Steward of Gondor”, will embark on a tour of the U.S. East
Coast with his band Beecake October 6-11 in support of their new album “Soul
Swimming”  


The tour will coincide with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the
Ring - Howard Shore’s score performed live to film at Radio City Music Hall
on October 9 and 10 at which Boyd will make an appearance.

Beecake will be appearing at Iota Café in Arlington, VA on October 6, Tin
Angel in Philadelphia, PA on October 7, Joe’s Pub in New York, NY on October
8 and 10 and Passim Center in Cambridge, MA on October 11. 


Billy Boyd says: "I can’t tell you how excited we all are to be playing our
first East Coast gigs, especially since we've just finished our debut
album”. “This will be our first time playing the album live and we can think
of no better place to do that.  A lot of our friends tell us how great an
East Coast tour is and in particular the venues we are lucky enough to be
playing.  All of us in Beecake can’t wait to get to the venues, meet the
people and play our music.”

first gig at Barfly, Glasgow in January 2007 and after having fans travel to
see them from as far afield as Japan, Germany, Italy and the U.S., the band

gathered a very dedicated live audience and in the fall of 2008 won the
