Just a reminder that later this month Vic Chesnutt & Elf Power head out together for a tour that begins in the U.S., and then expands through Europe.  They’re supporting their collaborative album, Dark Developments, which is available now through Orange Twin (and a sample track is in the mix at our newly-updated streaming Jukebox).

Squeezed into their schedule is a stop at Carnegie Hall on March 11 to particpate in a gala tribute to the music of R.E.M. The Apples in Stereo will also be appearing (as well as many others).

Finally, it should be noted that the Elf Power/Vic Chesnutt stop in Philadelphia on January 25th will feature opening band Folklore, fronted by Elf Power’s Jimmy Hughes.  This is Folklore’s first show since moving from Athens to Philly, and features a brand new lineup, including Chad Arnett (guitar), Nick Bronson (trumpet), Charlie Biando (bass), Scott Churchman (upright bass), Avalon Clare (clarinet), Jason Henn (drums), Andrew Keller(viola), Yianni Kourmadas (bass clarinet), and Cheryl Nguyen (violin). If you’re in the area, be sure to check it out.
