The Mountain Goats touring in August & September (full band & John Darnielle Solo)

Gaia Writer

The Mountain Goats are about to release new album Dark in Here on June 25 via Merge. The album was recorded at the legendary FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, AL and follows last year's Getting Into Knives which was recorded at the equally fabled Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis. You can stream a few songs from Dark in Here and all of Getting Into Knives below.

With two new albums under their belt (three counting Songs for Pierre Chuvin) since the pandemic, they're itching to get back on the road and have dates in August, including Asheville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Austin, Houston, Santa Fe, the Denver area, Fort Collins, Evanston, IL and Royal Oak, MI.

Then in September, John Darnielle will be playing some solo Mountain Goats shows, starting with three nights at City Winery NYC on 9/7-9/9, and then Dallas, Oklahoma City, Lawrence (KS), and Fayetteville (AR). John will then head back to the East Coast  for solo dates with Superchunk's Mac McCaughan opening in Wilmington (DE), Hollyoke (MA), Woodstock (9/27 at Levon Helm Studios, sold out) and Bethlehem, PA. All Dates are listed below.
