Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile (And The Sea Lice)
Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile first toured together in 2014, and have been working together ever since. The two singer/songwriters recorded an album together last year and are bringing that material to the Orpheum Theatre.
They’ve assembled a rotating supergroup of sorts, dubbed “The Sea Lice,” to form their backing band on the tour, including Sleater-Kinney’s Janet Weiss, Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint), Rob Laakso (The Violators, Mice Parade) and Katie Harkin (touring member of Sleater-Kinney). Australian musician Jen Cloher will open up for the band.
