Drive-By Truckers founding members Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley have announced they will hit the road as a duo this spring, touring together as Dimmer Twins. The name Dimmer Twins is a nod to the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who are sometimes referred to as the “Glimmer Twins.” This stripped-down duo setting will feature original solo and duo material written by Hood and Cooley, as well as some Drive-By Truckers songs that they’ve written over the years.
Dimmer Twins will begin their spring tour on the East Coast, starting things off with a show at Savannah, GA’s Savannah Music Festival on April 11th, before stops at Asheville, NC’s Grey Eagle (4/12 & 4/13); Annapolis, MD’s Rams Head Live (4/15); Sellersville, PA’s Sellersville Theater (4/16); South Orange, NJ’s SOPAC (4/17); Port Washington, NY’s Landmark on Main Street (4/18); Albany, NY’s The Egg (4/19); and Tarrytown, NY’s Tarrytown Music Hall on April 20th.
The duo will then head west with shows at Portland, OR’s Rev Hall (5/9); Seattle, WA’s Tractor Tavern (5/10 & 5/11); Eugene, OR’s WOW Hall (5/12); Berkeley, CA’s Freight & Salvage (5/15); San Francisco, CA’s Swedish American Hall (5/16); and will wrap things up with a tour closing two-night run at Los Angeles, CA’s Largo on May 17th and 18th.
A Dimmer Twins fan pre-sale is currently underway here, with a general on-sale beginning this Friday, January 18th.
