John Hiatt launches extensive round of U.S. dates

Singer-songwriter John Hiatt is traversing the U.S. through the spring and summer as he works out material for a planned solo-acoustic album that's expected to hit stores in October.

The itinerary, which sports dozens of dates, focuses on the club and theater circuits, with a few festival appearances also in the mix.

To date, Hiatt's 2004 performances have been freewheeling, solo-acoustic affairs with loose playlists that draw from throughout his nearly three-decade career.

Hiatt's latest release is 2003's "Beneath this Gruff Exterior." The set, his 18th, is the first to be credited to "John Hiatt and the Goners," which refers to his longtime band.

Guitarist Sonny Landreth, bassist Dave Ranson and drummer Kenneth Blevins reunited with singer-guitarist Hiatt for the first time in almost a decade on Hiatt's previous album, "The Tiki Bar is Open," which hit stores in 2001.

Hiatt is scheduled to play himself on the May 17 episode of the CBS sitcom "Yes, Dear," according to his official website.
