Pete Yorn lines up initial 2007 headlining dates

Fresh off a stint opening shows for the Dixie Chicks , singer/songwriter Pete Yorn has mapped out dates for a 2007 headlining tour as he continues to back his recently released album, "Nightcrawler."

Yorn is scheduled to play a handful of dates in December, including a number of multi-act holiday shows that begin with Thursday's (12/7) Deck the Hall Ball in Seattle.

The singer will kick off his next headlining tour Feb. 6 in Boise, ID. The 14-city outing will run through late March. Details are included below.

Released in August, "Nightcrawler" debuted at No. 50 on The Billboard 200 chart. The set, which follows 2003's "Day I Forgot," features a guest appearance from Dixie Chicks members Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines on the cut "The Man." Yorn--who first met the Dixie Chicks at an after-Grammy party in New York--co-wrote a track, titled "Baby Hold On," on the Dixie Chicks' latest album, "Taking the Long Way."

Yorn is calling "Nightcrawler" "the final installment in a musical trilogy" that began with his 2001 debut "musicforthemorningafter," and continued on "Day I Forgot," according to Columbia Records.

"The record feels different and it sounds different, but it also feels like a continuation of what I've been doing," Yorn said in a statement. "I feel like it's taking more chances creatively as a whole and at the same time it's just music that I want to make. There are a lot of pop songs on it, but it might not be as pop-y as the last record."
