The Books Announce European Tour

The lit-savvy teaming of Paul de Jong (cello) and Nick Zammuto (guitar, samples) will circulate through the birth-countries of Shakespeare, Proust, Goethe, and Hawthorne (but not Tolstoy), joined by same-page acts Clogs, Death Vessel, Califone, and José González at intervals along the way.
