Alternative rock band Cracker is heading out on an extensive tour in support of its fifth studio album, “Forever.”
After playing a handful of shows in Europe, Cracker will begin the North American portion of the jaunt on March 8 at New York’s Irving Plaza. The itinerary currently stretches through May 8.
According to the band’s official website, the Cracker shows on March 8 in New York and March 9 in Boston will feature a few of singer-guitarist David Lowery’s former bandmates from Camper Van Beethoven.
On Feb. 15, Cracker will perform the song “Shine” on “The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn.”
The 13-song “Forever” (Virgin) was produced by Lowery and engineer John Morand. Additional tracks were co-produced by Lowery, Cracker guitarist Johnny Hickman, and Sparklehorse’s Mike Linkous. Cracker--which also includes keyboardist Kenny Margolis, drummer Frank Funaro and bassist Brandy Wood--recorded the album at Lowery’s Sound of Music Studios in Richmond, Va.
A limited edition of “Forever” features an accompanying live CD and includes versions of Status Quo's “Pictures of Matchstick Men,” as well as Cracker’s “Low,” “Teen Angst” and others.
