The Hold Steady‘s Craig Finn will be on a solo tour this fall. He’s announced new US, UK, and European legs of his “This Is What It Looks Like: Solo Songs & Stories” tour, running through September and November. Kathleen Edwards opens the shows in Europe and the UK, and you can see all dates below.
“I’m excited to announce the continuation of the ‘This Is What It Looks Like’ tour,” Craig says. “It’s an evening of solo songs and stories, and the first run was in the UK and Ireland in February. I really loved how the tour went, and I’m excited to bring it to more places this fall. The show will continue to evolve, and I plan to debut a few new songs at these performances.”
Craig adds:
For the dates in September 2024 in the UK and Europe, I will be joined by the incredible singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards. Her last record, Total Freedom, is a favorite of mine, and I’m excited to see her play each night. Maybe we’ll even brew up something together. I can’t wait.
In November, I will be bringing this show Stateside for the first time, with a run through the East Coast and Midwest. We’re going to a number of places I haven’t been in quite a while, and I’m looking forward to that.
These are intimate shows that present some of the songs in a different light, alongside the stories behind them. The first round was such a blast, I’m thrilled to be adding these dates. I hope to see you there.”
The NYC show is at Le Poisson Rouge on November 9. Tickets to all dates go on sale Friday, June 28 at 10 AM local time, with an artist presale starting Tuesday, June 25 at 10 AM local.
