Bill Callahan, formerly a.k.a. Smog, a.k.a. [smog], is taking to the highways and byways of America this fall in support of Woke on a Whaleheart, his latest album on Drag City. The tour is his first sans moniker, and will be opened up by renowned acoustic guitarist Sir Richard Bishop.
Callahan is a man of few words and deep meaning, so be sure to keep rolling tape as you bootleg the show, just in case he decides to drop a bit of knowledge on that ass. Because he just might. Chances are he's live in every city he's playing, so he could possibly point you to the best taco stand after the show. Or let you know where to get the best bacon-wrapped hotdogs. Trust me, that's something where you definitely want a recommendation.
