DBT digs for The Dirt Underneath

These are a series of acoustic-oriented, sit-down shows, which will relaunch in April after gigs mainly opening for Eric Church.

In 2007, Drive-By Truckers did a series of shows called The Dirt Underneath. A halfway acoustic tour, the band sat down for most concerts and re-arranged and reinvented songs, played rarities and incorporated story-telling.

"It will be a fun change of pace for us and hopefully a fun and different thing for y'all," said lead vocalist and guitarist Patterson Hood. "We hope to pull out some different songs and toy with some old favorites. As we're in the early stages of writing and thinking of what comes next, this seemed like a great time to pull out some chairs and maybe a lamp or two and invite y'all to a traveling living room for a couple of weeks."
