Backed by Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg and Thor Harris, and having shed the Smog moniker he so long carried, Bill Callahan took the stage at Mount Pleasant, South Carolina's Village Tavern this past Sunday. All clad in ill-fitting suits, the crew bore resemblance to a down-on-their-luck, drowsy wedding band as they rolled through tunes off Callahan's Woke on a Whaleheart and old favorites like "Cold Blooded Old Times".

Meiburg also opened the show, in anticipation of Shearwater's forthcoming Rook on Matador. He, Callahan, and Harris head to Birmingham, Alabama tonight, then continue their roll through the American South into early March.
