Beginning August 20th, Southern Comfort will round up three of music’s biggest acts, Ghostland Observatory, The Polyphonic Spree and The Hold Steady, for something called Southern Comfort Presents: underCOVER. Basically, the 10-date shindig will give “an up close and personal look” into the musical influences of the three acts, with each band “paying tribute to the artists and covering the very songs that helped forge the sounds you hear today.”

A schedule of who is playing when and where can be found below. To get in, you’ll have to text the name of the market (i.e. “JERSEY SHORE”) to #68405. From there, it’s anyone’s guess…
