Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy continued their promotional tour for their upcoming tour where they’ll be performing R.E.M.’s Fables of the Reconstruction in its entirety. The duo, along with bandmate Dag Juhlin, took to the stage of WGN Chicago’s morning show to perform “Swan Swan H,” which, it should be noted, appears not on Fables, but on Lifes Rich Pageant .
Shannon and Narducy also sat down for an interview about their connection to R.E.M. and their music. When asked why he was undertaking this tour and not acting, Shannon said, “It’s just a heck of a lot of fun. That’s basically the long and the short of it. I’m not making a living wage out of it yet, so my kids aren’t ready for me to make the switch.” He also mentioned the support that they’ve gotten from the members of R.E.M., saying, “They are without a doubt some of the sweetest people you’ll meet in your life.”
The tour kicks off February 14th in Pioneertown, California and wraps up March 14th in Chicago. Check out their WGN performance as well as interview below.
