The band kicked off the trek July 15 at the Great South Bay Music Festival in Patchogue, N.Y., and will hit more than 50 cities across the country through the middle of November.

A few of the stops on the schedule include the Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry, N.H. (July 21), the Lincoln Park Festival in Chicago (July 29), the Northern Rockies Folk Festival in Hailey, Idaho (August 4), the New West Fest in Fort Collins, Colo. (August 18), the Music Mill in Indianapolis (September 12), the Grant Street Dance Hall in Lafayette, La. (September 27), the Aladdin Theater in Portland, Ore. (October 3), Belly Up in Solana Beach, Calif. (October 13), the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis (October 31), World Café Live in Philadelphia (November 9) and the B.B. King Blues Club in New York (November 16).

Symphony, the Subdudes’ third release since reforming, is due August 28. The first single off the album, “Poor Man’s Paradise,” is a stark look at the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, where the group initially formed. The track is currently doing well on radio airplay charts.

Group member John Magnie describes the band’s new disc as “the story of a bunch of different characters” set to a soundtrack.

“It runs throughout the record,” Magnie said. “From the people who can’t stand the way the government is running the country (‘Thorn In Her Side’), people who get a second chance at life (‘Half of the Story’) and people who put their ‘Work Clothes’ on but go fishing instead.”
