Tonight in Beaumont, Texas, Misters Bill Callahan (formerly known as Smog, in and out of these parentheses) and Jonathan Meiburg (generally speaking, the font from which Shearwater flows) will hit the very same stage for the first of many such meetings the two will enjoy on their joint tour of the Southern U.S.

They'll part ways March 8, at which point Meiburg and the Shearwater will prep for the release of Rook, due sometime this year on Matador. As for Bill, well, one only hopes he's accruing weird encounters to write about for his follow-up to last year's stellar Woke on a Whaleheart. Bon voyage, gents.
