Son Volt looks to '22 for extensive tour

The 35-date run will circle the U.S. starting on Jan. 14 in Springfield, Mo.. Scheduled stops will include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit and Boston. The tour winds down in the band's hometown of St. Louis on March 18. Jesse Farrar from the band Old Salt Union will open on all shows.

Released in July, "Electro Melodier" takes its name from two vintage amplifiers from the late '40s and early '50s, also describes the album's unique blend of folk, country, blues, soul and rock. The release features Mark Spencer (piano, organ, acoustic slide, lap steel, backing vocals) Andrew DuPlantis (bass, backing vocals), Chris Frame (guitar) and Mark Patterson (drums, percussion).

Farrar started Son Volt in 1994 after leaving the seminal group Uncle Tupelo, whose "No Depression" album helped define the alt-country and Americana genre. Son Volt's debut "Trace" remains a key album of the '90s alt-country movement.
