Last week, we announced that Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn added a Maxwell’s show (3/1) to his already announced solo tour. The Maxwell’s show is part of a longer string of dates that he’s tacked on to the end the tour, which also includes Mercury Lounge on February 29. Marcellus Hall opens all of the shows on the newly announced run, except for the 2/27 show live at Drew’s house in Ringwood, NJ. Tickets for the Mercury show and the Maxwell’s show go on sale Friday (12/16) at noon. AmEx presale for the Mercury show starts Wednesday (12/14) at noon. All dates are listed below.

Meanwhile catch Craig front his band The Hold Steady at the Brooklyn Bazaar in Williamsburg this Saturday night, one night after Radical Dads play there (with Fucked Up).

Craig also recently made an in-studio video that talks about the process of his upcoming solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes. That video and all dates are below…
