The duo of guitarist and vocalist Nick Zammuto and cellist Paul de Jong kick off the dates with a free show in Chicago’s Millennium Park and highlights of the tour include a gig at the Solid Sound Festival in Massachusetts, ATP Festival in Monticello, NY also featuring Sonic Youth, Explosions in the Sky, Fuck Buttons, Avi Buffalo and Tortoise, two shows in Durham, NC and a stop at Carnegie Hall.
