Singer/songwriter Mike Doughty [ tickets ] is ready to roll out the tour bus for a headlining trek behind his latest studio LP, the forthcoming "Golden Delicious."

The former Soul Coughing frontman kicks off nearly a month and a half of touring March 12 in Northampton, MA, and the 29-city outing will take him and his backing band through the latter half of April before winding to a close. All dates are below.

Alt-rockers The Panderers, whose debut EP is due in March on the Snack Bar label, will open all of Doughty's headlining shows on the trek.

Due in stores Feb. 18, "Golden Delicious" was produced by Grammy winner Dan Wilson, who helmed Doughty's previous album, 2005's "Haughty Melodic." That record peaked at No. 8 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and spawned the Top 5 AAA single "Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well."

Before launching his solo career, Doughty was best known as the frontman of '90s avant-garde rock group Soul Coughing. The band broke up in 2000 and the singer self-released some of his solo material before signing with Dave Matthews' ATO Records in 2004.
