Magnolia Electric Co. Tour

Magnolia Electric Co. Tour U.S. Begins Today (10/21) In Preparation for New Album

Magnolia Electric Co.

Jason Molina and his Magnolia Electric Co. have been a little quiet since the release of their magnificent box set Sojourner, last year. But never fear Magnolia fans, when Mr. Molina goes quiet it usually means he’s gearing up for something big, and the first wisps of the next Magnolia Electric Co. project will be landing soon in a town near you. Jason Molina, now living in the U.K., has spent much of the recent months touring solo in his new home, and writing, writing, writing. Now starting on October 21 he will be reuniting with his fellow Electricians: Jason Groth, Pete Schreiner, Mikey Kapinus, and Mark Rice for a thirteen date U.S. tour. The band will be fleshing out new songs on the road, as well as Magnolia classics. It’s even been rumored that the band has been practicing some old Songs: Ohia tunes for the tour as well. The tour will end with a performance at Chicago’s Abbey Pub, and a subsequent studio session with Steve Albini in the Windy City for a new Magnolia Electric Co. album to be released in mid-2009!
