Son Volt Gears Up For September Tour

On July 12, Legacy Records will release Okemah and the Melody of Riot, the first album in seven years from Son Volt. This comes on the heels of a 20-track compilation that included five unreleased tunes and a live DVD.

Son Volt has been making a return this year. For the past several years, it’s been bandleader Jay Farrar who’s been out on the road as a solo act, but the line between a Farrar thing and a Son Volt thing has always been a little fuzzy.

The band will tour in September, starting in Bellingham, Wash., on the 3rd. The next night the Volt travels a short distance to Seattle, then it’s off to Portland, San Francisco and Santa Cruz. Shows include Los Angeles, Austin and Dallas, with the last gig booked for New Orleans’ House of Blues on September 20, but the Web site hints at an “international tour.”
