Cracker Van Camper
There’s a fine line between Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven. The groups share several members, including frontman David Lowery, and they often perform together.
This fall, each band has its own tour booked, starting with Cracker’s Midwest run from October 27 to November 4. The gigs are billed as “Cracker Acoustic,” a stripped-down version of the band comprising Lowery and Johnny Hickman.
After a Chicago show at Martyrs’, Lowery will round up his Camper Van Beethoven bandmates and set out on what looks to be a week’s worth of West Coast shows. The current schedule spans November 14-19, staying mostly in the Northern California area, along with a Reno, Nev., gig.
The two bands have done several co-headlining tours together over the last couple of years, including some East Coast dates this past spring.
