Earlier this year The Decemberists front-man Colin Meloy embarked on a low-key solo tour and brought with him a tour-only EP (limited to 1,000 copies) of Morrissey covers, coveted by die-hard fans and purchased for ridiculous amounts of money on eBay. Well, Colin is heading out again for a handful of solo shows in early 2006 with Laura Veirs as the opening act and this time around he'll be carrying a cover EP of songs from traditional English folk-singer Shirley Collins. Here’s the dates...
1/18 - Seattle, WA @ Showbox
1/19 - Portland, OR @ Aladdin Theater
1/20 - San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall
1/21 - Los Angeles, CA @ El Rey Theater

Here’s a rarity from the Picaresque Vinyl LP...The Decemberists-“Constantinople”
and...Shirley Collins-“Barbara Allen”
