Alt-country outfit Old 97's [ tickets ] has mapped out a spring and summer headlining run interspersed with solo dates featuring frontman Rhett Miller.

The tour kicks off with a handful of Miller's solo shows beginning Saturday (4/11) in Ithaca, NY. The remaining members will join the lead singer on the road in early May for the group's "An Evening With Old 97's" tour, which kicks off with a two-night run in Chicago. The current agenda has the trek finishing up July 11 with a performance at the Snowbird Mountain Music Festival in Salt Lake City. Details are below.

The stateside outing supports two albums--Old 97's most recent release, 2008's "Blame It On Gravity," and Miller's impending self-titled solo studio effort, scheduled to hit retailers June 9.

"Blame It On Gravity," which features the band's original lineup of Miller, bassist Murry Hammond, lead guitarist Ken Bethea and drummer Phillip Peeples, is Old 97's seventh studio album. The alt-country act spent just over a month on the road behind the record last fall.

Miller's upcoming self-titled work marks his fourth solo album and his first on the Shout! Factory label. His most recent solo album, "The Believer," peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart following its spring 2006 release.
