David Byrne's in-progress tour to support his new collaboration with Brian Eno has been extended through mid-December.

The current leg of the outing, which launched in mid-September, runs through Nov. 9. The newly added leg is set to kick off Nov. 28 in Buffalo, NY, and visit a dozen cities along the East Coast through Dec. 13. An updated itinerary is listed below.

Byrne's North American trek is expected to segue into next year, and the performer has also recently mapped out a spring 2009 European tour. His overseas schedule is detailed at his website.

On the road, the Talking Heads founder and his band are showcasing music from August's "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today," Byrne's first collaboration with Eno in 27 years. The idea for the album came about during a 2006 visit the two had after Nonesuch Records re-released the pair's 1981 collaboration, "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," according to a press release.

"I recall Brian mentioning that he had a lot of largely instrumental tracks he'd accumulated, and since, in his words, he 'hates writing words,' I suggested I have a go at writing some words and tunes over a few of them, and we see what happens," Byrne said in a statement.

The result is an interesting mix of gospel, folk, country and electronic music.

"These songs have elements of our previous work--no surprise there--but something new has emerged here as well," Byrne added. "My task was to bring forth into language what was originally non-verbal. In the end, we have made something together that neither of us could have made on our own."

The record is an independent release available exclusively at the "Everything That Happens" website. The full set is streaming at the site and one song, "Strange Overtones," is available for free download.

In a recent interview, Byrne said a big advantage of self-releasing his music is the freedom to book a tour right away.

"If I'd recorded it for a record label, they would have said, 'No way' [to an immediate tour]," the musician told the Chicago Tribune. "They need four months to advance your record before it comes out. We didn't have to ask anyone. We just did it. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because you forget all the unwritten rules that record companies have."

Though the new album and Byrne's other collaborations with Eno are the focus of the outing, Eno is not scheduled to appear on any of the dates.
