Candlebox Announces New Live Acoustic Album Featuring Original Members
April 11, 2023Multi-platinum rock band Candlebox has announced that they will be releasing a new, live, acoustic album, entitled Live at the Neptune on June 23 via Pavement Entertainment. It will be available on all streaming platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD.
Featuring all four original members (Kevin Martin, Peter Klett, Bardi Martin, and Scott Mercado), the LP was recorded at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, WA on November 5, 2021, when the lineup reunited for one night only to celebrate the 26th anniversary of their iconic album Lucy. The setlist features hit songs from the band’s self-titled debut as well as their sophomore release Lucy.
Lead singer Kevin Martin says, “That was such an amazing night for us to share with our fans. We’re so stoked with how great this recording turned out. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!”
Guitarist Peter Klett adds, “I love that we were able to capture such a vibe. It feels as though you’re there with the band.”
The vinyl of Live at the Neptune is available for pre-order here: www.pavementmusic.com/campaign/candlebox/
The track list is as follows:
Side A
Cover Me
Blinders
He Calls Home

Side B

Fans can also pre-order Live at the Neptune on CD. This format has two bonus songs that are not included on the vinyl, which are “A Stone’s Throw Away” and “It’s Alright.”
The acoustic album is one piece of Candlebox’s 30th’s anniversary celebration. The band, which now features Martin, Brian Quinn, Adam Kury, Island Styles, and BJ Kerwin, will also embark on a summer-long tour that will have them sharing the stage with Three Doors Down and performing at such venues as the PNC Bank Arts Center, Red Hat Amphitheater, and The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.
