Iconic singer/songwriter Tom Waits will hit the road in August for a rare string of live performances. The eight-date tour will take Waits to some cities he hasn't played in three decades. The details of the artist's touring band are still being worked out, according to a spokesperson.
"We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a statement about his motivation for touring.
Waits played a handful of shows in 2004 but prior to that had not toured widely since 1999, in support of his album "Mule Variations."
And while there's no word of a new album from Waits, Anti- Records is at work on a long-awaited boxed set. No release date has been nailed down, according to the artist's rep.
Waits will also be seen in two dramas set for theatrical release next year: "The Good Heart" alongside Ryan Gosling and "Texas Lullaby" with John Malkovich and Josh Hartnett, which is loosely based on William Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
Here are Tom Waits' tour dates:
Aug. 1: Atlanta (Tabernacle) Aug. 2: Asheville, N.C. (Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) Aug. 4: Memphis (Orpheum Theatre) Aug. 5: Nashville (Ryman Auditorium) Aug. 7: Louisville (Palace Theatre) Aug. 9: Chicago (Auditorium Theatre) Aug. 11: Detroit (Opera House) Aug. 13: Akron, Ohio (Civic Theatre)
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.
That just slays me. Waits is one of my all time favorites and I have vowed not to miss him again....but, I thought I'd get the chance in Boston or New York. Oh well, Chicago isn't that far. Liquidrone and The New Orleans Bingo! Show only made my hankering more hankied. That was some great stuff too.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
Man, I wish I could have bought tickets to the Chicago date, but Massive Attack and A Tribe Called Quest ate up my entire concert budget for major concerts in the next few months.

I'd love to see Tom Waits, especially at the Auditorium theatre. But with Bonnaroo, the other Radiohead show I saw, Muse, Nickel Creek, and Sufjan Stevens, I just can't afford it. A friend of mine, who is borderline girlfriend wants to see Tool too, and it's just too much money. Man, I've spent so much money on concerts this summer. Oh, and I just had to miss Fiona Apple with Damien Rice for the same reason.
Got my tickets for Chicago. Broke my bank since this will probably be the one shot I have to see him, and its convenient that it takes place in the 5 day period I am visiting family in Chicago.
