[edit] History
Dolour was formed in Seattle, Washington in 1997, and released Waiting For A World War in April 2001. Tutmarc recorded Suburbiac, released on Brandon Ebel's Fugitive Records in 2002, with producer Aaron Sprinkle. The self-produced New Old Friends (2004) followed in 2004. Initially released independently, it was re-released on Damien Jurado's Made In Mexico Records in November.In late 2005, A Matter of Time: 2000-2005, a collection of album tracks and rarities was released by Japanese label Quince Records. Over the course of 2004-2006 Tutmarc produced two separate albums: Hell or Highwater and Storm & Stress, which were combined and released on Quince Records in Japan as The Years in the Wilderness in 2007.
Following his grandfather's death, Tutmarc became interested in American roots music.,[2] and in early 2007, started a new group with family members called Shane Tutmarc & The Traveling Mercies. On December 6, 2007, Tutmarc announced the end of Dolour as he focused his efforts on his new project.[3]
In July 2009, Tutmarc released his first solo album, "Shouting At A Silent Sky."
On November 16, 2010, "Storm & Stress" was released by the digital music distributor Oseao Media Group, who also released Hell or Highwater on May 10, 2011.
