Craig Finn

We knew The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn would be touring this fall in support of his new solo album Faith In The Future (due 9/11 via Partisan), but now he added a few intimate shows around release day.

One is in NYC on Saturday, September 12 at Rough Trade. That’s an afternoon show (1:30 PM doors), and to get in you have to purchase the album from Rough Trade. More info here. He also plays an acoustic show in London on 9/15.

His proper tour hits NYC on November 6 at Bowery Ballroom with Esme Patterson, and he also opens for My Morning Jacket here on November 28 at Beacon Theatre (tickets).

Craig was just on author Bret Easton Ellis‘ (American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction, Less Than Zero) podcast where they talked “corporate culture in rock and roll, The Clash, the decline of the archetypal rock star and The Replacements.” Check that out HERE.

Updated dates are listed, with a stream of “Maggie I’ve Been Searching For Our Son” from Craig’s new album, below…
