Brooklyn pulses with creative defiance, where warehouse galleries blur into DIY venues and every corner hums with artistic ambition. This is where genres collide and reinvent themselves. It only feels right to start the tour here. Walking these streets, you feel the weight of everyone who came here to make something real.

New Haven hums with an understated intensity, a college town that's never been content to just be a college town. The music scene here runs deep! With Toads Place being one of the most intimate venues where legendary acts tested new material, where students and locals share the same small rooms and big ideas. Sounds exactly where I want to be.

Columbia was built as an experiment in intentional community, and that utopian spirit still shapes how people gather here. It's a planned city that somehow avoided sterility, where diverse neighborhoods connect through a genuine love for live music and art. My kind of place. Im bringing out my friend Howi Spangler of Ballyhoo!. Last time i was here was with the Dirty Heads in 2011

Harrisburg sits at the crossroads of Pennsylvania, a capital city with a working-class soul and a music scene that refuses to be overlooked. There's a grit here, an honesty in how people create—artists building their own stages, their own audiences, without waiting for permission. Perfect place to place to play these new songs.

Millville is the kind of small town where music feels like a gathering, not a show—where everyone in the room is there because they chose to be. Tucked into rural Pennsylvania, it's a place that reminds you why intimate venues matter, why sometimes the best nights happen far from any city.

Columbus has quietly become one of the Midwest's most vital music cities, a place where scenes grow without the weight of too much attention. There's a generosity here, a collaborative spirit where artists lift each other up. i’ve always loved visting this town and even more so playing music in it.

Charleston carries centuries in its bones, where cobblestone streets and Spanish moss frame a music scene steeped in deep tradition and hungry for what's next. This is where jazz, gospel, and Gullah rhythms were born. I cant help but feel that creative spirit when in town. This will be a special show.

Raleigh thrives in the space between a Southern city with a progressive pulse, where research parks meet punk venues and everything feeds into a thriving arts ecosystem. The Triangle's creative energy is contagious, driven by students, artists, and transplants who came for opportunity and stayed for community. The Lincoln Theatre itself has history in its walls, a stage that's seen generations of performers chase that same electric connection.

There's something about beach towns in the off-season that makes art feel more urgent, more necessary—fewer tourists, more truth. The venues here draw crowds who understand that live music is how you mark time, how you remember you were somewhere that mattered. Im honored to be invited to play.

Playing here feels like you're in on a secret, connecting with the locals who know this place beyond the boardwalk. I must have played here over a dozen times with SWR, but this one will be one for the books. Might even go next door and pet a gator.

From trap to indie to punk, every scene here carries weight, an understanding that what happens in Atlanta eventually reaches everywhere else. There's an entrepreneurial fire here, artists building empires from basements, refusing to wait for anyone's permission or validation. The city moves fast, but the community runs deep. I freaking love this place.

This is where the songs get to breathe a little differently—stripped down, stories included, just us in a room before the full show. I'll play a mini acoustic set, take your requests, and talk about how these songs came to be. Think MTV Unplugged but smaller, more conversational, more real. Afterwards we'll take photos, I'll sign whatever you bring—your old guitar, a friend's hat, a setlist from three tours ago. One of my favorite parts is just hearing your stories, learning how these songs have been living in your world.
