Tour-A-Palooza
In the past week, Craig Ferguson and his team added 17 more stops on the New Deal Tour coming up this fall. By our count, Craig will be performing 46 times before the end of the year, and the tour website suggests at least nine more shows are in the works, so if you haven’t seen Craig on stage, this will be a great time to do it! We’re keeping up as more venues are announcing shows, and we appreciate your help in keeping us up to date. If you see a new show popping up “in your region,” please tweet us and let us know.
