So it turns out it is at The Fitzgerald Theater, MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO'Fitzgerald Theater in fact.
I.e., it is a venue OWNED by the same people who OWN 89.3. So, logic would say, 89.3 should PROMOTE this show of Mike's. But will they????
FAT CHANCE.
But I'd love to be wrong and be surprised and we'll hear songs like "Wax Minute" and "Rio" on their airwaves between now and April 5th.

I do find it rather LAME how the only way to purchase tickets directly ON THE TELEPHONE from MPR at Fitzgerald Theater events are if YOU ARE ACTUALLY AN MPR MEMBER. L-A-M-E, but whatevah.

As the man himself just posted a bit ago on Facebook, Minneapolis got a date!
The venue and ticket sale date hopefully coming later today. I'm pretty sure it won't be at either The State Theatre nor Orpheum as both of those venues already are booked, but the Pantages perhaps. Varsity Theater or another appropriate venue (The Fitzgerald Theater in St.Paul?), it should be good to find out soon.
The only down side to this is, it is the same evening that Jamie Lidell is playing The Fine Line. But as my gf says "Mike takes priority."
And her and I may venture down to Chicago for the show the next night, depending on logistics.
Christian Nesmith? it doesn't appear will be on this tour unfortunately. O well, raincheck in hoping to meet and chat some prog and Kevin Gilbert with him.

Here is the The Spring Tour
Me, Joe Chemay on Bass, Paul Leim on Drums, Boh Cooper on Keys
I'll post the venues and ticket outlets later today or tomorrow.
This is the tour to break in the show, see if you like it, earn the promoters confidence, and see if anybody comes.
If it goes well we will keep going later in the summer/fall and hit the states we missed on this half-lap of the US.
If it goes poorly we will stare blankly into the future and post pictures of cute animals and food.
