Actor and musician Michael Shannon and multi-instrumentalist Jason Narducy (Bob Mould Band, Superchunk) are teaming up together for a tour next February. On the forthcoming seven-date itinerary, the duo is planning to perform R.E.M.’s debut album Murmur in full every night. The band behind Shannon and Narducy will consist of Jon Wurster on drums, Dag Juhlin on guitar, Nick Marcri on bass and Vijay Tellis-Nayak on piano.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Shannon and Narducy performing Murmur at Chicago’s metro for the album’s anniversary, and even R.E.M.’s Mike Mills came by as a special guest. This isn’t the first full-album performance they’ve done either, as past live credits include projects from Neil Young, The Modern Lovers and T. Rex.
