(Sub) Eric Hutchinson will be hitting the road for his "The Almost Solo Tour" on October 15th at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall. The series of special acoustic evenings will take place at intimate venues across the U.S., with audiences seated up close to Eric and his longtime band member, multi-instrumentalist Elliott Blaufuss.
Special guest Jessie Payo will open on most dates. They will play three shows in Hutchinson's hometown of New York City: City Winery on October 29th and Joe's Pub on November 2nd and 3rd.
"When I was starting out, I would play rooms that let me get so personal with the audience - that feeling is totally energizing," says Hutchinson. "On the Almost Solo Tour, we're going to strip the songs to their roots, share some stories, and get up close and personal!"
Eric will do a live Twitter chat about "The Almost Solo Tour" today, September 12th, at 6:00 PM ET.
