Cactus Tour: We Gotta Get On The Road

With all the focus on Trey Anastasio lately, we wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Gordon was feeling a little left out. While we may have missed our chance to wish Cactus a Happy Birthday, we’re not gonna biff our chance to catch him on tour. Today, Gordon announced a major summer tour to support his upcoming release, The Green Sparrow, that includes a number of stops at major festivals.

Our favorite jew-fro’d bass player also ended speculation about who would be in his touring band:

For his touring band, Gordon auditioned a myriad of musicians over the past six months. The five-piece includes longtime collaborator Scott Murawski on guitar, Vermonters Craig Myers on percussion and Tom Cleary ..boards and Brooklyn drummer Todd Isler.

You won’t have to wait long to purchase ducats, as a limited number of tickets will be available through a fan presale beginning tomorrow, Friday, June 6 at Noon EST over at Music Today. READ ON for the full list of dates…
