Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes

Elvis Costello and The Sugarcanes, — featuring Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Mike Compton, Dennis Crouch and Jeff Taylor — are coming to the Beacon Theatre on June 10.



The band's album Secret, Profane & Sugarcane, produced by T Bone Burnett, is slated for release on June 2. The album was recorded with a some of America's finest string band players from the world of traditional country music, Bluegrass and beyond.

Unfortunately all weekday shows except the one in Colorado, looking at the short tour...

06.09.09 - Red Bank, NJ - Count Basie Theatre
06.10.09 - New York, NY - Beacon Theatre [Tickets]

Taking a quick peak at one of the band member's websites, it seems like there is gonna be a second run in August... hopefully close during a weekend.

Ten of the album's tracks are new Costello compositions, including two written with Burnett. One song, " I Felt The Chill," was written by Costello and Loretta Lynn, while two of the album's tracks -- "Hidden Same" and "Boom Chicka Boom -- were originally written by Costello for Johnny Cash.

Advance tickets go on sale tomorrow, and I'm REALLY tempted for the Beacon Theatre date, despite being a Wednesday...
