Exciting news for music fans! Three new artists have joined the Fender Accelerator Tour – the initiative by the legendary guitar manufacturer supporting emerging artists on the road – including indie darlings Real Estate, country crooner Josh Dorr, and up-and-coming duo Striking Matches.

Fender has partnered with a talented and diverse group of emerging artists – including Deap Vally, Night Terrors of 1927, Priory, Matthew Curry, The Bots, Waters, Coasts, Marmozets and the three newly announced acts – sending each act out on a national tour with a brand new tour van, promotional and marketing support and fender gear all while covering fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.
