KEN STRINGFELLOW (THE POSIES)

Ken Stringfellow of The Posies released his terrific second solo album, Touched, on September 11, 2001 and he tells us “just nine days later, I found myself performing in NYC at the Mercury Lounge, a highly emotional evening, to say the least.” For the venue’s 25th anniversary, he’s performing Touched Mercury Lounge on September 21 and UK folk legend Bridget St. John opens. Once that show was confirmed, Ken decided to turn Touched into a full North American tour, which kicks off 9/12 in Nashville and includes stops in Memphis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Providence, the Boston area, the Philly area, the DC/Baltimore area, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, Charlotte, Savannah, Miami, Vancouver, Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Boise, and more. Many of the dates are house shows or “secret” shows. All dates are here and you can stream Touched below:
