The tour visits a number of cities across the US and Canada including Minneapolis, MN; Cleveland, OH; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA and Louisville, KY.

The Watson Twins' debut album 'Fire Songs' was released in June of last year. It has been produced by Russell Pollard (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion) with J. Soda (Slydell, Everest) on the studio boards.
