The songs "Too High to Cut My Hair" and "Midnight Flight" were released as digital singles prior to the album coming out. "Bluegrass Pines" had previously been recorded and released by Leftover Salmon in 2014 during Bill Payne's brief period as a member of that group.
Strike Up the Band is currently being supported by a tour that will stop for two months in June 2025 and will continue on August 9, the tour will conclude sometime in October. [3]

In a Rolling Stone review, David Browne said the album "still very much sticks with the swampy script" and that it "has the ambiance of the band's classic records — a Mardi Gras that never ends — but it also feels doggedly alive." [5] In a review for Ultimate Classic Rock, music critic Nick DeRiso commented that it "still feels like a new iteration of Little Feat, with Sharrard as the obvious catalyst". [6]
