Folk experimentalists Pillars & Tongues to tour Midwest and West Coast

Adding to the 250 performances across North America and Europe that folk experimentalists Pillars & Tongues have delivered within the past three years, the Chicago-based trio is now headed west on a month-long tour promoting its latest release, Lay of Pilgrim Park (Endless Nest).

Starting in the Midwest at the onset of September, the group will travel across the country, closing the tour with a Daytrotter session on October 3.
