Louisiana music hero Tommy McLain returns to his home state in celebration of his first new album in 40+ years 'I Ran Down Every Dream.' In a series of intimate duo shows with Grammy-nominated producer/protégé CC Adcock, McLain will bring the swamp pop sound he helped put on the map and "a voice that still sounds strong as ever" (MOJO) at 82 to New Orleans (September 7 and 8 at Hotel Peter and Paul), Lafayette (September 9 at Vermilionville) and Crowley (September 10 at the Grand Opera House of the South). Recently embarking on his first countrywide tour in decades and sharing stages with Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe (who both co-wrote with Tommy on 'I Ran Down Every Dream'), McLain fittingly comes back to where it all began as his new album becomes available across the globe.  Click here for tickets.
