Detroit-based Uncle Kracker [ tickets ] has plotted a spring course through the eastern portion of the US as he continues supporting last fall's "Happy Hour."

The DJ/singer/songwriter--born Matt Shafer--will focus on the Midwest and parts of the East Coast, beginning with a March 11 show in Flint, MI. The month-long outing will venture through clubs in 24 cities before concluding April 10 in Lynchburg, VA. Details are included below.

"Happy Hour," Uncle Kracker's fourth studio set, hit retailers last September, peaking at No. 38 on The Billboard 200 and at No. 13 on the magazine's Top Rock Albums chart. Produced by Grammy Award-winning Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day), the set marks the musician's first new release since 2004's "Seventy Two & Sunny."

"I co-produced my last couple of records, so it was nice to write something and take it to a producer and let him bring out what worked," Uncle Kracker states at his website. "Sometimes you can be too attached to a song to be open-minded about taking suggestions from anybody."

The video for the album's lead single, "Smile," is currently streaming at his official website.
