Gomez and Ben Kweller Announce Co-Headlining Tour

About two weeks after wrapping up a January U.S. trek with O.A.R., British quintet Gomez will hook up with Texas native Ben Kweller in mid-February for a month.

Gomez will close all of the shows except three, which Kweller will take solo. The tour also includes three separate Gomez performances. Kweller will finish out March with more solo shows along the East Coast. Those dates yet to be announced.

Kweller, who usually tours with a full band, is only taking along a three-piece for this tour. According to ATO Records, he wrote and played all of the songs on his latest self-titled release, and wants to better translate his own instrumental talents into his live shows.
