J. Mascis will be releasing his debut solo acoustic record Several Shades of Why on March 15th on Sub Pop Records, accompanied by a headlining tour.  The tour kicks off on March 10th in Ithaca, New York, and will be wrapping up on May 7th in San Diego. The former Dinosaur Jr. front man might be hitting up a few other cities in between. I don’t know, I didn’t actually read the dates, but I’m posting them below for you. Kurt Vile and Black Heart Procession will be opening on select dates.
