Symphonic Sufjan
The Michigan-based musician will bring along a “small string ensemble and brass section” for five weeks of concerts this fall, according to Asthmatic Kitty Records. Setlists will feature symphonic versions of songs from his last three albums as well as several new tunes.
The tour launches September 11 at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and will hit prestigious theatres across the country through mid-October. The itinerary includes two dates apiece at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas, and New York City’s Town Hall.
Asthmatic Kitty artist My Brightest Diamond, aka singer/songwriter Shara Worden, will open at all dates. The coast-to-coast trek is set to finish October 15 in Seattle.
The upcoming concerts will be Stevens’ first since last September.
