Southbound Winter Tour

Posted on: February 05, 2010

DSO has embarked on their first tour of 2010. Starting out just a bit this side of The Great White North in Minneapolis, MN followed by a stop in Milwaukee and 2 nights at The Vic Theatre in Chi-Town. Next its a Midwest run with shows in Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Indianapolis before a weekend run of shows in Ohio with stops in Columbus and Cleveland. From there is on to (hopefully) warmer climates with shows in Covington, KY and Asheville, NC before a two nighter at the Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte, NC. Heading farther south, the next run of shows hits Birmingham, AL and Oxford, MS followed by two nights at The Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. After the Hotlanta double dose its west Texas bound with stops in New Orleans, Houston and Dallas before wrapping up the tour in Austin.

Hope to see you on the trail!
