Over the Okkervil River and through the woods to venues across North American Shearwater go. The band behind this year's lovely Palo Santo (Misra Records) has revealed the tour itinerary for a second round of Santo-supporting dates in the States and Canada.

In the midst of this September trek, Shearwater will stop off at the Daytrotter.com studio in Rock Island, Illinois to, we assume, record some Daytrotter session tracks. Our winged friends will thereby join the ranks of esteemed trotters like Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Sunset Rubdown, Oakley Hall, and Cold War Kids.
