The Big Wu and the Samples team for September dates

The Big Wu and the Samples have paired up for a co-headlining tour, mainly of the Midwest. The Big Wu will also perform a handful of dates on its own.

"The Samples [ tickets ] are a band I saw back in college, and I just thought they were huge," Big Wu guitarist-vocalist Jason Fladager said in a press release. "To be able to tour with them now is quite an honor."

The Big Wu's Family Reunion, held in Wisconsin over last Memorial Day weekend, was nominated for a Best Festival Jammy Award this summer by Relix Magazine and Jambands.com.

The Big Wu released its album "Folktales," in October 2000, while the Samples sent "Return to Earth" (Apache Records) to stores earlier this year.
