Last we spoke of the comings-and-goings of guitarist Steve Gunn, the former Kurt Vile sideman, was his signing to Matador. That pairing, most would agree, was just fine for both parties. Matador’s a great label. Gunn’s a talent who, after years of work, is poised to break through in one capacity or another. Mutual benefits, right there.
With himself firmly in Matador’s care, it’s time to go spread the word. Let people know about this Steve Gunn music, let them know about a little something that’ll be coming through Matador soon enough. Now, Gunn had previously announced a handful of festival dates, but he’s filled in his calendar with a few North American dates in October. It’s not a huge tour, but, frankly, it’s enough to spread that good word.
