Spanning through spring and summer, the tour is set to conclude on August 3 in Troutdale, Oregon.

Beyond the Stage: The Decemberists' Other Ventures

The period since their last album hasn't been a quiet one for The Decemberists. Frontman Colin Meloy has been creatively active, diving into the world of literature. He authored several children's and young adult novels, with his notable work, the "Wildwood Chronicles" series, being adapted into a feature film. This film adaptation boasts a stellar cast, including Mahershela Ali, Carey Mulligan, Maya Erskine, Jermaine Clement, Tom Waits, and Angela Bassett.

In Retrospect: Celebrating The Decemberists' Legacy

As we welcome the band's new chapter, it's worth revisiting their past achievements. The Decemberists' album "Picaresque" has been ranked No. 34 on the list of “The 50 Best Indie Rock Albums of the Pacific Northwest.” This accolade is a testament to the enduring impact and creativity of The Decemberists, both in the indie music scene and beyond.
