Perhaps brought about by their mutual love of folk and county music, Blitzen Trapper and Dawes will bring their alt-hoedown on the road this fall for a co-headlining tour. Kicking off October 7th in Petaluma CA, the bands will hit up major venues in the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up on November 15th in San Francisco, CA.
Each act will offer pre-sale tickets with accompanying t-shirts on their respective sites (here and here) beginning Friday, August 5th at 10 a.m. EDT. Public on-sale tickets are available starting Friday, August 12th. Check out their shared and individual itineraries below.
And in further celebration of their glorious union, the groups have released a six-song EP of previously released tracks; just drop an email address in the widget below and it’s yours to download. Blitzen Trapper’s next album, American Goldwing, hits stores September 13th via Sub Pop. Dawes’ latest LP, Nothing Is Wrong, is out now.
