Elvis perkins in Dearland made me nervous at their Music Hall of Williamsburg show in December when Perkins said it was their last show of the tour, and they weren't sure when they'd be going on tour again. It was a major relief when I received an email with a handful of Spring dates. Perkins (sans Dearland) is joining Norah Jones on tour! The man is shooting upward at an alarming pace that concerns my wallet. Last summer I saw him with Dearland for $3. Last year the band went for ~$15. Soon tickets with Perkins' name on it will be going for $30-40. I'm calling it, so keep an eye out. You'll be able to tell how far they've come by the increase of stage size and location next time they play Bonnaroo or the Newport Folk Fest, etc.
The rest of Perkins' spring dates WILL include his Dearland mates (whose instrumentation and general energy adds a great epic-osity to Perkins' already mind-blowing goodness). In addition to two NYC dates for the entirety that is EPID, the band will also be playing the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival weekend. The festival's lineup is comprised of an insanely massive list of great talent that includes Simon & Garfunkel.... Enough said.
