The performances will feature material from throughout Simpson's catalog and is his way of thanking fans-both old and new-for a series of unprecedented years. See below for complete details. Tickets for the newly announced shows go on-sale next Thursday, February 16.

Out now on Atlantic Records (purchase here), A Sailor's Guide To Earth continues to receive overwhelming critical acclaim with recent "Best of 2016" coverage running at The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Pitchfork, Salon, Billboard, The Atlantic, Paste, SPIN, American Songwriter among many others.
