Calexico Plots September U.S. Tour

Calexico has unveiled September tour dates concentrating on the South and Midwest.

After August appearances at New York’s Central Park SummerStage and Lollapalooza in Chicago, the group will head to California for Oakland’s Art & Soul Festival September 3.

They’ll kick off two weeks of solid tour dates in Texas September 16 with an appearance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Then it’s on to New Orleans and nearly a dozen more cities, finishing September 30 in Lawrence, Kan.

Calexico is supporting its latest album, Garden Ruin, released in April on Quarterstick Records.

Over the years, the band has grown from a duo to a six-piece, now comprising founding members John Convertino and Joey Burns with Tucson neighbor Jacob Valenzuela, Germans Martin Wenk and Volker Zander, and Paul Niehaus of Lambchop.

Calexico toured extensively with Iron & Wine throughout the latter half of 2005 in support of the two bands’ collaborative album, In The Reins. Earlier this year, Calexico played a number of West Coast shows with The Black Heart Procession, then hit the East with Jason Collett.
