FINDING LUCINDA Documentary Tour Dates Unveiled; Listen to New Single

The first leg of the companion live tour for the music documentary Finding Lucinda has officially been announced. The tour news arrives alongside the release of the first single from the upcoming soundtrack album: the Lucinda Williams cover “Am I Too Blue,” featuring ISMAY and Charlie Sexton. The film itself will be available to stream on Video On Demand beginning September 9.

Produced by Charlie Sexton (Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams) and Avery Hellman (aka ISMAY), the single captures the raw emotion and spirit of Lucinda Williams’ early songwriting, reimagined through a collaborative performance featuring ISMAY, Charlie Sexton, Los Texmaniacs, and Warren Hood. The track offers fans a first taste of the forthcoming Finding Lucinda soundtrack, slated for release on November 7, 2025, which will feature GRAMMY winners Sexton and Buddy Miller alongside GRAMMY-nominated artist and author Mary Gauthier. Listen to it below.

The tour opens October 3 in San Francisco and continues across the West, Mountain States, Midwest, and East Coast, with additional dates to be announced into 2026. Highlights include a Chico, CA stop featuring Chuck Prophet, a showcase at the Folk Alliance Far West in Vancouver, WA, and intimate shows at legendary venues such as Ann Arbor’s The Ark, Brooklyn’s Jalopy, and Chicago’s Hideout.

Each date of the tour includes an acoustic performance by ISMAY and special guests, a screening of Finding Lucinda and A Q&A session with ISMAY (Avery Hellman), who stars in the film. Additional dates to be announced.
