Revival Tour returns for 2009 outing

The folk-punk Revival Tour, featuring Hot Water Music co-frontman Chuck Ragan and a host of friends, is set to return for a second annual outing this fall.

The genre-bending trek--which will also feature Jim Ward (Sparta, Sleepercar), Joey Cape of Lagwagon, Frank Turner, Tim Barry of Avail, Dave Hause of The Loved Ones, Jenny Owen Youngs and Chad Price of Drag the River, among many others-- kicks off Nov. 13 in Louisville, KY, and runs through a Nov. 22 show in Orlando, FL.

The full schedule is included below, and a complete list of artists on the trek can be found at the tour's website.

"As artists we go on tour together and then in the final days of the tour--after everyone is familiar with one another--you're playing songs with your tour-mates and having a blast," Ragan said in a press release. "I thought, why can't we get together, rehearse before the tour starts and perform together during the entire tour?"

"Some of our set for that night's show is chosen in advance, but everything else evolves organically onstage," he added. "It's truly one of the most special tours I've ever been a part of."

"Gold Country," Ragan's forthcoming new studio album, is due in stores Sept. 1. The set follows Ragan's debut solo effort, 2007's "Feast or Famine." Hot Water Music, which Ragan co-founded in 1993, produced seven full-length studio records before disbanding in 2006. The band reunited last year and continues to tour on a limited basis.

Last year's inaugural Revival Tour featured Tim Barry of Avail, Ben Nichols of Lucero, Tom Gabel of Against Me! and Jesse Malin, among others.
