Drive-By Truckers leaders Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley will play several shows without their trusty backing band in April and May. The Dimmer Twins, named in homage to Glimmer Twins Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, will have a wealth of solo material and Truckers favorites between them to flesh out their setlists.
Hood and Cooleys trek begins with an April 11th performance at Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, with subsequent shows scheduled through May 18th. The pair will play back-to-back nights at Asheville, North Carolinas Grey Eagle; Seattles Tractor Tavern; and Los Angeles famed Largo. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, January 18th.
