The identical twins kick start their tour on Feb. 16 in Omaha, NE, and make a total of 16 stops before wrapping up at the Workplay Theatre in Birmingham, AL, on March 6. The tour visits a number of cities across the US and Canada including Minneapolis, MN; Cleveland, OH; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA and Louisville, KY.

The Watson Twins' debut album 'Fire Songs' was released in June of last year. It has been produced by Russell Pollard (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion) with J. Soda (Slydell, Everest) on the studio boards.
