The Mountain Goats never really stop touring and with a new album on the way they’ve been previewing plenty of it on the road. Now lead singer and main man John Darnielle will be heading out on his own for a small batch of shows, and even if you’ve seen The Mountain Goats recently this might be worth checking out, as you’re likely to get quite a different batch of songs to a regular Mountain Goats show.
