Singer/songwriter Ben Kweller [ tickets ], fresh off his slot at this year's Lollapalooza festival, will support his upcoming new album with a fall tour, backed by a full six-piece band.

The San Francisco-born, Texas-bred singer will launch his outing Sept. 13 in Houston. The 25-date tour will hit clubs and small theaters in major metropolitan areas throughout the country, culminating with an East Coast swing in the latter half of October.

The self-titled "Ben Kweller," the singer's third album as a solo artist since leaving his original band, Radish, in the late '90s, was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters). It's due in stores Sept. 19.

Kweller's previous effort was 2004's "On My Way," which was recorded live to studio tape under the supervision of producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon).

The vocalist/guitarist/pianist first became widely known as the frontman of Radish when he was just 16 years old. That band--hyped as the next Nirvana--signed to Mercury Records after a frenzied bidding war amongst major labels, but its 1997 debut, "Restraining Bolt," didn't strike a nerve with the public or with critics. The group never released a follow-up album, and broke up by the end of the decade.

In 2003 Kweller toured Australia with fellow singer/songwriters Ben Folds and Ben Lee, billing themselves as The Bens. The collaboration produced an eponymous EP, released in 2004.
