The shows were announced in support of their 12th album ‘Ohio Players’, which arrived on April 5.The duo – comprising Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney – were expected to kick off in Tulsa on September 17, with Seattle band The Head And The Heart set to support them at select shows.
The dates could have continued into November.However, it was reported late last month that the entire run of gigs had been abruptly scrapped, with no explanation provided.
