Kurt Vile Announces North American Tour, Performs “Mount Airy Hill (Way Gone)” on Colbert: Watch

The post Kurt Vile Announces North American Tour, Performs “Mount Airy Hill (Way Gone)” on Colbert: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

Kurt Vile appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night, where he performed the (watch my moves) cut “Mount Airy Hill (Way Gone)” and, as a web exclusive, John Prine’s “How Lucky.” What’s more, the artist has mapped out a North American tour.

For “Mount Airy,” Vile recruited his band The Violators for a laidback performance of the deceptively contemplative track. Meanwhile, the indie rocker stood alone on stage with an acoustic guitar for his take on  “How Lucky.” A longtime fan of the late musician, Vile has covered Prine on several occasions and dueted with him on Speed, Sound, Lonely KV.

Vile’s new tour dates extend his summer run into the fall, with stops in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Boston, among others. Chastity Belt’s Julia Shapira and Come lend support.
