MIKE GORDON & LEO KOTTKE TO PLAY JUNE/JULY DATES; NEW STUDIO ALBUM TO COME OUT LATE SUMMER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mike Gordon and acoustic guitar legend Leo Kottke will play a series of shows this June and July. Marking their first collaboration since Bonnaroo in June 2003, these summer dates will be a mix of festivals, multi-band bills and headlining appearances. We expect to add two or three shows in addition to the ones listed below over the next couple of weeks.
Mike and Leo will be performing old material and new, featuring several songs off their upcoming album SIXTY SIX STEPS, tentatively set for a late summer release on RCA Victor. Recorded in the Bahamas last December and mixed by (Clone mixer) David Z, the duo's second studio album picks up where Clone left off, showcasing the deepening musical relationship between Mike and Leo. The island setting of Nassau's legendary Compass Point Studios served as a musical backdrop, and Bahamian drummer and percussionist Neil Symonette is featured throughout. Neil will also be out on the road with Mike and Leo for these summer dates. A more extensive national headlining tour is being planned for this September and October. Further information on SIXTY SIX STEPS will be announced in the coming months.
