Singer/songwriter Johnathan Rice [ tickets ] has lined up an early summer headlining tour as he continues to build support for his latest album, last year's "Further North."

The Scottish-born, New York-based Rice--who makes a guest appearance on Elvis Costello's latest album, "Momofuku," and recently joined Costello and The Imposters on stage during a Nashville concert--will kick off the run May 25 in Topanga, CA.

The tour will hit 33 cities, including stops in New York City (6/18), Chicago (6/28) and San Francisco (7/9). Details are included below.

Released last September, "Further North" is Rice's second full-length studio album and the follow-up to his 2005 debut, "Trouble Is Real."

Streaming video of the album's first single, "We're All Stuck Out in the Desert," can be found at Rice's website. The video was directed by noted indie music photographer Autumn De Wilde.
