Academy Award-winner Michael Shannon (Knives Out, Nocturnal Animals, The Shape of Water) and acclaimed musician Jason Narducy—who has worked with many prolific artists, with Bob Mould, Superchunk and Liz Phair among them—are teaming up for a tour across the U.S. playing R.E.M.’s 1983 album, Murmur, in its entirety. In the past, the pair has performed several other classic albums from artists such as Neil Young, The Smiths and Bob Dylan. Their R.E.M. tribute began as a one-off performance in a Chicago venue to celebrate the album’s 40th anniversary, but the hugely successful show, which even featured an appearance from bassist Mike Mills, gave way to an entire tour, including a necessary stop in R.E.M.’s very own hometown.
