Steve Wynn IV / Minus 5 / The Baseball Project on tour in August and September

Get ready for the barnstorming tour of the year! Steve Wynn, Linda Pitmon,
Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck will be hitting the US highways in various
musical disguises as the brand new Steve Wynn IV, the Minus 5, and The
Baseball Project, with all three bands made up of the same players with a
possible costume change or two. (See full tour schedule below.) According to
Wynn, “I’m fairly certain it won’t be a typical three-band bill with separate sets,
And I have a feeling we’ll be mixing it up and changing from night to night."

This tour will be the first time the four musicians perform live and on tour
together, unless you count for the appearance of The Baseball Project on the
“Late Show With David Letterman” (in 2008) and at Wynn and Pitmon’s wedding
(also in 2008).

The group will be touring in support of their latest albums:
“Crossing Dragon Bridge” – Steve Wynn (ROCK RIDGE MUSIC, 2008)
“Killington” – Minus 5 (YEP ROC, 2009)
“Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails” – The Baseball Project (YEP ROC, 2008)



Who’s who on the tour?
STEVE WYNN – The Dream Syndicate, Gutterball, Danny & Dusty, Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3
SCOTT MCCAUGHEY – Minus 5, Young Fresh Fellows, REM, Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3, Tuatara
