Social Cig returned with “Patchwork: A Road Dog Story,” on Friday. The latest effort from the local favorites weaves together tales from life on the road with the kind of raw, authentic energy that’s become their calling card. “Patchwork” finds Parker Schultz exploring themes of growth and lessons learned while exploring the country, while maintaining the heartfelt approach that’s earned a devoted following along the way. The album’s title proves apt—each track feels like a carefully stitched memory from countless miles traveled, late-night venues, and the peculiar magic that happens from one city to the next. The album is both a love letter to the touring life and a significant step forward in their journey, and you can celebrate with them this Friday night at Turner Hall Ballroom. Check it out here:
