British pub-rock legend Nick Lowe, who just saw his landmark album Jesus of Cool receive a deluxe re-release via Yep Roc, has announced plans for an April tour of the U.S. As if the chance to catch Lowe live wasn't incentive enough, who he's bringing along with him as opening acts definitely sweetens the deal. Most shows will find Lowe joined by fellow acerbic trouabdours Robyn Hitchcock and Ron Sexsmith.
