The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle solo tour dates announced

The Mountain Goats have announced more tour dates for this fall in support of new album Beat the Champ, which include a short run of John Darnielle solo tour dates. The solo tour is being dubbed the “All Roads Lead to Lincoln Solo Tour”, and include some places where Darnielle has never performed before, including Lincoln, Nebraska.

Darnielle says of the tour in a statement:

Did you know I lived three hours from Lincoln for a decade or so and never once played there? All that’s about to change! I really enjoy stretching my legs out on a few solo shows a year, there’s room for songs that just don’t fit into the burn-down-the-barn-and-feed-the-ashes-to-your-enemies-but-then-feel-guilty-about-it-because-your-enemies-have-feelings-too milieu of the full-band set. See you out there!
