When a 21-year-old singer-songwriter gets a great deal of hype, often times it’s because of his or her age. For Alex G, it’s simply because he’s great at what he does. It’s why he won us over at The Sinclair a while ago, too. With soft-spoken indie rock that straddles a line between Elliott Smith and Silver Jews, Alex G’s newest release, DSU, highlights why he should be on your radar (if he isn’t already).

So it’s with great excitement that we announce Alex G is packing up his things and hitting the road next year for a short tour at the end of January. In addition to playing Cuisine En Locale in Somerville on February 6, he will also be stopping in Brooklyn, Philly, Chicago, Toronto, and more. Best of all, he’s roped in some of our favorite acts like Pity Sex, Girlpool, Spencer Radcliff, and Boston’s own Palehound. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
