Mount Eerie annouces tour dates, teases new album
thefader.comPhil Elverum has announced 12 2023 tour dates for his Mount Eerie project. He shared the news in a Substack post, writing that the newly scheduled shows will contain “[t]ons of new songs from an in-progress album.
He also added that Mount Eerie will be touring as a duo this time around, though it’s unclear who the group’s other half will be as of yet.
The show openers will be Karl Blau and Country Gravel, Emily Sprague, and Goodtime John for one gig each, and Elverum’s May 9 show at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music will include “an evening of song and conversation,” including a talk with Song Exploder’s Hrishikesh Hirway.
The following date — May 28 at Brussels, Belgium’s l’Ancienne Belgique — will be a series of discussions and film screenings celebrating of the late filmmaker Harry Everett Smith’s 100th birthday. (Mount Eerie will play a show in the same location the next night.)
