Hayes Carll Announces Fall Tour In Support Of New Album ‘We’re Only Human’

Hayes Carll will follow the release of his new album, We’re Only Human, by embarking on a lengthy tour across North America this fall. The forthcoming LP arrives on August 8 via Thirty Tigers and has been previewed with the single “Progress Of Man (Bitcoin & Cattle).”

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter has built his acclaimed career on the art of sharp storytelling — songs that hold up a mirror to the human experience in all its beauty, flaws and absurdities. On the follow-up to 2021’s You Get It All, Carll turns that mirror inward, delivering what is described as his most personal and introspective work yet.

“This record came from a place of wanting to stop running from my inner voice and start really listening to it,” Carll explained of an album featuring guest appearances from Nicole Atkins, Shovels & Rope, Ray Wylie Hubbard and more. “These songs are my way of capturing the lessons I’ve learned—not because I’ve figured it all out, but because I need the reminder that we’re all just human.”

The Texas-born troubadour kicks off his fall tour tour with performances in Houston on September 4 and Austin on September 5. Following a brief break, Carll resumes the journey in Saxaphaw (North Carolina) on September 19, then heads to Washington D.C. on September 20 and Philadelphia on September 21.

The Northeastern leg continues with shows in Northampton (Massachusetts) on September 23, Hamden (Connecticut) on September 24, and Boston on September 25. Carll then performs in New York City on September 26 and Woodstock (New York) on September 27 before crossing the border for a Toronto appearance on September 30.

October begins with concerts in Detroit on October 1, Newport (Kentucky) on October 2 and Cincinnati on October 3, followed by shows in Indianapolis on October 4, Cleveland on October 5 and Cuyahoga Falls (Ohio) on October 7.

After a brief hiatus, Carll returns to the road with performances in Atlanta on November 1 and Ponte Vedra (Florida) on November 2. The Florida run continues with Tampa on November 4 and Pensacola on November 6 before heading to New Orleans on November 7.

The tour’s final stretch includes performances in Philadelphia (Mississippi) on November 8, Memphis on November 9 and St. Louis on November 11. Carll then plays Louisville on November 12 and Columbus on November 13 before heading to Bloomington (Illinois) on November 14.

The Midwest portion wraps with shows in Des Moines on November 15 and Omaha on November 16. Carll then heads north for performances in Fargo (North Dakota) on November 18 and St. Paul on November 19 before concluding the tour with a show in Evanston (Illinois) on November 21.

On “Progress Of Man (Bitcoin & Cattle),” Carll serves up his take on the current landscape in tongue-and-cheek fashion. The track offers a pointed yet witty examination of contemporary society’s obsession with self-interest, materialism and ego-driven behavior. Through its lyrics, the song reflects on how these traits have become increasingly normalized and celebrated in modern culture.
