Celebrated Americana band Son Volt has announced a 2022 tour that will run from January through March, beginning on January 14th in support of the band’s critically acclaimed album Electro Melodier.
The 35-date run will circle the US starting on January 14th in Springfield, MO. Scheduled stops will include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, Boston and more. The tour winds down in the band’s hometown of St. Louis on March 18th. Jesse Farrar from the band Old Salt Union will open on all shows.

Released in July, Electro Melodier further cemented Son Volt as one of the most influential bands of their generation. The title, taken from the names of two vintage amplifiers from the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, also describes the album’s unique blend of folk, country, blues, soul and rock. Electro Melodier features Mark Spencer (piano, organ, acoustic slide, lap steel, backing vocals) Andrew DuPlantis (bass, backing vocals), Chris Frame (guitar) and Mark Patterson (drums, percussion).

Farrar started Son Volt in 1994 after leaving the seminal group Uncle Tupelo, whose No Depression album helped define the alt-country and Americana genre. Son Volt’s debut Trace was heavily lauded and remains a defining document of the ’90s alt-country movement. Two decades later, the group continues to decidedly capture the times while breaking new musical ground on Electro Melodier.
