On July 22, Sam Cohen (Apollo Sunshine) hits the road with his Yellowbirds outfit for a short tour through the Midwest and southern states. The band will first perform a session at Daytrotter tomorrow before kicking off the tour at Off Broadway in St. Louis, MO on Thursday. Yellowbirds will be joined by Josh Ritter & the Royal City Band on the tour which closes on July 27 at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC. In a tour announcement, Cohen says, “In an experiment designed to test the integrity of our souls, the temperature of our blood, and the perseverance of our American spirit, Yellowbirds will embark on a desperate, Kerouac-ian dash for the Midwest and Southern states.” The band will also play a one-off show at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory on August 10.
