Bowerbirds set spring tour dates

Local trio Bowerbirds are gearing up for a new tour this spring. This will be the band's first tour since canceling a bunch of dates last fall including some shows with Calexico. The new set of dates include a week of shows in late March/early April and a two week run in late April/early May that will conclude with a hometown show at Local 506. Brooklyn band La Strada will open the second round of dates.

The 506 show is on May 8. Tickets for the show are on sale now for $8 via etix.com. La Strada and Wes Phillips will open the show.
