Backwoods Payback and Lo Pan Tour

The trek will begin March 9 in Baltimore, Maryland and will include two appearances as part of this year's SXSW music conference in Austin, Texas.

Comments guitarist/vocalist Mike Cummings of the new record and upcoming dates: "The new, as yet untitled, record is dark and ugly, but smooth in all the right places. I think live is where these songs are going to hit the hardest. We've been doing this for long enough that each stop on a tour isn't just a show anymore. It's a full blown party; a gathering of friends old and new. This tour should be no different, save for the fact that now we are flying the Small Stone flag, and are stoked to be doing so!"

Backwoods Payback will be touring in support of their Small Stone Recordings debut, set for release later this spring
