![Twin Shadow Announces Spring Tour, During Which He and His Father Will Share Stories With You]()
This spring, George Lewis Jr, aka Twin Shadow, will continue touring in support of last year's Confess. Like his previous tours surrounding the record, this trip will have a theme: "True Story." On each date, either Lewis himself or his father will tell the audience a story. "A gem from the depths of my father's life and a stone from the recent corners of mine," Lewis wrote in a statement, "tales retold from lovers and friends."
Lewis has also shared a first story here, "Dirty Charles", chronicling one drunk, ill-fated swim through the Charles River in Boston. As you may recall, it's not the first time he's shared a work of prose.
Here's the full explanation behind the "True Story" tour:
You know when someone tells a story and says "crazier things have happened!" Well, you always wish they would just tell you that crazier thing. Like, why would you want to hear a story that's not as good? My father told me great stories my whole life, I often wonder if his stories influenced the way I write music. When talk came up of Twin Shadow hitting the road this year I thought again about how we could make each show special, how each city could have a unique piece of Twin Shadow. I thought about my father's stories, I thought about the stories I tell my friends and I thought this tour would be a good place to share them, so for every city we play my father or myself will tell you one True Story. 24 Cities. 24 Stories. A story for New York, A story for Toronto, A Story for every show on the tour.
After the dates, watch Twin Shadow play "Five Seconds" for Pitchfork.tv's "Mansion Sessions".
