With today’s announcement of a month of November (and into December) dates in the U.S. supporting his new album A Year in the Kingdom, Josh Tillman has finished planning a busy few months of double duty. Starting this week, in addition to headlining, he’s taking his brother’s band Pearly Gate Music, a band in which he also drums, on a month long route through Europe. Then after a short break, beginning early November he’s taking the same group on the road for a clockwise traverse of North America.

Though Josh has taken his brother Zach’s band to Europe before, and down the west coast, this is Pearly Gate Music’s first nationwide tour. On December 11th, the Tillman brothers will wrap up their trek in Seattle at Neumos. Hopefully sometime in there we might actually see a Pearly Gate Music recording materialize.

Complete J Tillman European and North American Tour dates are below the fold.
