Following his most recent transatlantic dates, progressive troubadour Tom Brosseau winds down a series of homecoming shows, distributing a tour-exclusive live collection appropriately dubbed the Tour CD. Hailing from the Great Plains state of North Dakota, Brosseau plays stripped-down, intense ballads that have earned him a fan base including the likes of Dublab and Miranda July. Nonesuch recording artist and fiddler Sara Watkins also performs, in anticipation of her forthcoming self-titled debut CD, produced by Led Zeppelin alum John Paul Jones.
