Bob Mould to look back on tour

On April 7th, one of the most important figures in the American rock underground, Bob Mould, will celebrate the release of his evocative new record Life And Times by saluting the 20th anniversary of the album which first established him as a preeminent solo artist. For Mould's DC area show at the Birchmere Music Hall, he has gathered acoustic combo of long time collaborators Jason Narducy (bass, guitar), Amy Domingues (cello), and Richard Morel (keyboards) in order to interpret songs from his seminal 1989 offering Workbook as well as the brand new Life and Times.

Bob Mould: "I remember the DC show in May 1989 promoting Workbook. Twenty years later it will be great fun to return to the DC area with those songs in hand and a new interpretation in mind. Many of the songs on Life And Times are a nod to that era. I am planning a special night of music and the Birchmere is the ideal room for this rendition. April 7 will be another day for me to remember: a one-of-a-kind show on the release day of Life and Times for the hometown crowd."

Hi,
I'm wondering if his "mini" tour is a solo show or is he performing with a full band. I can't seem to find an answer.

Hello,

Yes, everything I can find seems vague on whether he is performing totally solo or with a band... I'm sorry I can't do better for you. But if you're a fan, that will be part of the surprise of the show!

Keep on rockin'
