Since you're reading Tiny Mix Tapes, you are obviously excited to learn that Bonnie "Prince" Billy has announced dates for his upcoming spring tour, which will coincide with the release of his new album, Beware, on March 17 via Drag City. Following up on a bunch of stuff that you already know about, Billy will play a show nearly every day until April 11 starting in mid-March. He will then take a break for over a month to do that eclectic and charismatic stuff that you have read about him doing in his free time before returning to touring on May 21. If he chooses to add tourdates to this gap in time, they will be posted to this website, and you will definitely read him.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy, whose real name you already know, first affected your life in the early ’90s with an album that you quickly came to identify with and find comfort in. In the intervening years, he has released several albums, all of which you own, under several different monikers, all of which you have memorized. While you have appreciated the evolution of his music and enjoy his recent creative direction, his early work still holds a special place in your heart, having provided emotional solace during a difficult and formative period in your life.
