Red Hunter has expanded his Peter and the Wolf touring lineup to a trio, and the next show on their six-week jaunt goes down tonight in Abilene, Texas. The present trek is nomadic Peter and the Wolf's second since the release of Lightness late last year on the Worker's Institute.

In addition to the non-Western instruments they plan to use in their set (e.g., the Chinese erhu, the Tuvan igil, and the African kalimba), the band will also have a tour-only CD of new songs available for sale at shows. They've titled the 10-track CD Fireflies.
