Hard Working Americans Announce Initial Tour Dates In Support of May 13 'Rest In Chaos'

It's not often a group of iconic musicians press pause on their separate career paths, form a band and tour an album. But that's just what Hard Working Americans are doing with their second album, 'Rest In Chaos' (May 13).

Hard Working Americans started in 2013 with Todd Snider and Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools working together on an album project. By the time they rehearsed for their first gig with Neal Casal (guitars, background vocals), Duane Trucks (drums and percussion), Chad Staehly (keyboards, background vocals) and Jesse Aycock (guitars, lap steel, background vocals), they knew they'd created a new band with a bright future, a group whose contributors have individually influenced American rock, folk and Americana for years.

Now, the six-piece is set to tour a 13-track collection Dave Marsh calls "one of the most well-sustained albums I've heard in years."

Starting May 14 in Chicago, Hard Working Americans will bring the live experience to stages across the U.S. A list of initial dates, markets and venue is below. Many more dates, including a national tour starting in August, will be announced soon. 

Tickets go on sale Friday, and 'Rest In Chaos' is available for pre-order on Fri., March 25 here: smarturl.it/HWA_RIC
