See below for complete tour itinerary.
Of the tour, Cobb shares, “We all ought to want to be Nikki Lane when we grow up. She’s just a boss at anything she does. So, when the idea for the first full band tour since the pandemic came up, there was no one else I could imagine sharing the moment with. I suppose we’re cut from a similar cloth and that family feeling amongst the crowd is what I’m looking the most forward to at these shows. It’s gonna be something really special,” while Lane adds, “I liken sharing a stage or a song with Brent Cobb to a holiday meal. It’s something so familiar, but you just don’t get to do it often enough. We’re from the same neck of the woods, as they say. When we get together, we know how to have a good time, and we put on a good show. But that don’t mean we might not just go off the rails for a moment. Cause we’re swapping whiskey and tequila, telling stories and talking shit – and there’s just no tellin’ what might happen.”
