Revered Tampa Bay area Americana scene staple Have Gun, Will Travel is going the distance—or at least into it—with the release of a new EP.

After some journeys into a more rock sound, Voyager Golden’s lead single finds the band returning to a more rootsy aesthetic complete with stripped-back, harmonized vocals that help launch a concept record about interstellar space exploration and NASA’s late-’70s satellites.

Tickets to see Have Gun, Will Travel play Bayboro Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Friday, Dec. 5 are still available start at $20.

Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
