Lemonheads mastermind Evan Dando will embark on a five-week, coast-to-coast solo tour of the U.S. early next year, his second American trek in less than a year in support of Varshons,
Leaving his band back home this time, Dando will hit the road beginning Jan. 29 in Hoboken, N.J., and continue on through a March 6 gig in New York City. In between, he’ll hit Philadelphia, Orlando, Chicago and Los Angeles, among other stops.
Last summer, Dando released the 11-track Varshons, produced by the Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes and featuring covers of songs by the likes of Leonard Cohen, Wire, Gram Parsons and G.G. Allin — plus that increasingly oft-covered, Linda Perry-penned Christina Aguilera hit “Beautiful.” He spent the fall touring Europe solo.
