From there, the tour heads south with stops in Charlottesville on August 3, Raleigh on August 4, Asheville on August 5, Atlanta August 6 – 7 and Birmingham on August 8.

Each show will find Oberst, Walcott and Mogis augmented by a chamber orchestra as well as drummer Jon Theodore, bassist Macey Taylor and guitarist Miwi LaLupa. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 11.
