Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo has a few events coming up this year, including some acoustic shows. One of those is a duo with Raul Refree at this weekend’s Pop Montreal festival, and the others are rare solo performances in San Francisco, LA and NYC.

The NYC show happens November 13 at Trans-Pecos. Tickets are on sale now.

Lee also takes part in the third annual Kerouac Project NYC event, which happens October 30 at Joe’s Pub. Here are details:

Legendary composer David Amram and his Quintet perform Beat-era classics, and accompany actor John Ventimiglia (The Sopranos), poets Bob Holman and Frank Messina, and guitarist Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) as they read the works of Jack Kerouac. Guest speaker: author and biographer Joyce Johnson. Musical guest: Tyrone Cotton. Proceeds support the Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence Project of Orlando, Florida, home to more than 50 writers since 2000.

Tickets for that are on sale now too.
