The tour comes after four small shows earlier this month in Toronto, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, all sold out. Toronto gets him again on 31 May, less than four months after the first EOB show of all at the Great Hall. Bonnaroo and Newport Folk were already known; the rest of the dates are new today.
He is working with REVERB.org, the environmental non-profit, to make the tour climate-positive. Through REVERB's unCHANGEit campaign he will fund projects that take greenhouse gas out of the air, enough to cancel out more than the tour produces.
