Liam Finn announces May tour dates with Laura Veirs :: Music News :: Articles

We've already called Liam Finn insane and most unexpectedly awesome because of the remarkable energy he displays in his mostly one-man, multi-instrument live shows. But perhaps now we'll need to add "tireless" to the list of adjectives, because as much as we enjoy his live show, it seems he's not growing bored with it either.

After finishing up his tour with Eddie Vedder and heading to Europer for a couple weeks, Finn will bring his “I’ll Be Touring” (look, he's witty to boot!) tour back to the U.S. with dates through May. All of the shows will be with another Paste favorite, Laura Veirs.

And coming even sooner to a television near you, Finn will grace The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson with a performance on April 18.

The son of Crowded House’s Neil Finn, Liam’s debut album I'll Be Lightning has been much lauded. He recorded, produced and mixed the whole thing himself, thankyouverymuch.
