Drive-By Truckers to Journey Through the Past, Playing ‘Southern Rock Opera’ on Tour


Drive-By Truckers will embark on a Southern Rock Opera Revisited tour this spring.

“In two discs and twenty songs, Dixie’s Drive-By Truckers explode the yahoo baggage of 1970s Southern rock in a roaring memoir of growing up white, loud, and desperate in the former Confederacy,” the review said. “Southern Rock Opera deserves a fistful of stars just for the ‘Free Bird’-via-Crazy Horse squall of guitarists Mike Cooley, Rob Malone, and Patterson Hood.” June 7 – Indianapolis, IN @ Egyptian Room at Old National CentreJune 8 – St. Louis, MO @ The PageantJune 9 – Louisville, KY @ Mercury BallroomJune 10 – Henrico, VA @ Lewis Ginter Botanical GardensJune 13 – Raleigh, NC @ The RitzJune 14 – Charlotte, NC @ The Fillmore CharlotteJune 15 – Birmingham, AL @ Iron CityJune 16 – New Orleans, LA @ The Civic TheatreJune 19 – Houston, TX @ House of BluesJune 20 – Austin, TX @ ACL Live at the Moody TheaterJune 21 – Dallas, TX @ House of BluesJune 23 – Phoenix, AZ @ The Van BurenJune 26 – El Cajon, CA @ The MagnoliaJune 27 – Los Angeles, CA @ The BelascoJune 28 – San Francisco, CA @ The FillmoreJune 29 – San Francisco, CA @ The FillmoreJuly 1 – Portland, OR @ Crystal BallroomJuly 2 – Seattle, WA @ Neptune TheatreJuly 5 – Salt Lake City, UT @ The ComplexJuly 6 – Denver, CO @ Fillmore AuditoriumOct.
