For more than a decade, Over the Garden Wall has transformed from a critically acclaimed animated miniseries into a beloved autumn tradition. Each fall, fans return to its lantern‑lit forests, harvest‑season folklore, and timeless folk‑inspired soundtrack—making the series an essential part of the season for audiences around the world. a growing global audience.

For over ten years, Over the Garden Wall has grown from a celebrated animated miniseries into a cherished fall ritual. Its world of harvest festivals, misty woods, and American folklore—paired with its warm, folk‑driven score—has made revisiting the series an annual tradition for a global audience.

To mark its return this autumn, The Blasting Company announces the highly anticipated “The Blasting Company Plays Over the Garden Wall Tour.” The tour brings the show’s iconic soundtrack to life on stage, beginning with two performances at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles, CA on October 12 and October 13, and concluding at the Howard Theatre in Washington, DC on November 11. Audiences will experience the Emmy Award–winning score performed live by brothers Joshua Kaufman and Justin Rubenstein, the composers behind the music.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 26 at The Blasting Company Over the Garden Wall Tickets.

Following sold‑out 10th anniversary shows in Los Angeles in 2024, The Blasting Company envisioned a concert experience that captures the warmth, camaraderie, and musical spirit at the heart of the series. That vision now expands into a full North American tour featuring musicians from The Blasting Company and the renowned California Feetwarmers—many of whom performed on the original soundtrack.

Joined by special guests in select cities, the ensemble will recreate and expand upon the music that made Over the Garden Wall an enduring favorite. Fans can expect an evening of beloved songs, lush arrangements, storytelling, and the communal spirit that shaped the original recordings.

“More than anything, we want these concerts to feel like a night spent in the company of old friends playing music together,” said Kaufman and Rubenstein. “The music of Over the Garden Wall was born from collaboration, tradition, and community. These shows are a chance to celebrate that spirit—to sing along, share the experience, and keep these songs alive together.”

What began as a Nashville street band has evolved into one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary composition. Beyond Over the Garden Wall, The Blasting Company has created music for Burlesque, The Kids of Rutherford County podcast from The New York Times and Serial Productions, Adult Swim’s The Elephant, and The Crooked Moon. Their recent collaborations include work with Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Haley Reinhart, Jemaine Clement, and legendary composer Van Dyke Parks.
