Concert goers this winter will be hard-pressed to find a live show as endearing and genuine as Daniel Johnston’s. His rather extensive body of work was first pulled into mainstream focus by Kurt Cobain’s admiration in the ‘90s, but his songs have been covered by Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth and Tom Waits, to name a few.
Last year Johnston sold out shows from Los Angeles to New York City, and played SXSW backed by the Nightmares. His album Lost and Found is expected for Stateside release sometime this February, coinciding with the following 10 shows:
February
5 - Detroit, Mich. @ The Majestic
6 - Chicago, Ill. @ Metro
7 - Milwaukee, Wis. @ Turner Hall
8 - Minneapolis, Minn. @ First Avenue
9 - Omaha, Neb. @ Slowdown

21 - New York, N.Y. @ Highline Ballroom
22 -Philadelphia, Pa. @ Trocadero Theater
