It's been taking a little while, but slowly, the 2008 tour schedules are beginning to materialize before our eyes. Definitely the most exciting announcement I've heard came today with the word that Mr. Meloy, lead singer and front man of The Decemberists, is picking up the ol' acoustic gee'tar and is hitting the road by his lonesome.
Colin Meloy has a 20-city strong tour planned out, with the possibility of additional dates later. This isn't the first time, of course, that Meloy has taken a tour of the country by himself. In the vein of his two previous, Meloy will be releasing a new solo EP which will be unique to this tour. This time around, he'll be covering Sam Cooke, with the obligatory title Colin Meloy Sings Cooke.
You may not know, but I'm basically addicted to The Decemberists, not to mention Colin Meloy's other cover albums (featuring Morrisey and Shirley Colins). You know I'll be there when Colin drops by Granada Theater in Dallas. Tickets go on sale next Friday, Feb. 8th. But if you're on Colin's fanlist, you can grab your own tickets when they go for presale tomorrow.
