Former Butterglory frontman and Ray Davies vocal double Matt Suggs has just released his sophomore record, Amigo Row, to a modest Pitchfork 7.5. Not too shabby. And, he's likely to get some decent exposure on the road this fall, as he hooks up with Songs:Ohia in September and the John Vanderslice-Beulah pairing in October. OK, so maybe there's not a lot of dish here, but what we're trying to tell you is, he's no doubt worth seeing and hearing, and he doesn't tour all that often (especially out east). Here are some dates to get you started:

09-18 Tampa, FL - Orpheum *
09-19 Tallahassee, FL - FSU *
09-20 Baton Rouge, LA - Chelsea's (w/ the Myrtles)
09-21 New Orleans, LA - the Mermaid *
09-23 Jackson, MS - Martin's Lounge *
09-24 Memphis, TN - Hi-Tone *
09-25 Nashville, TN - The End *
