Everybody could use some Summer Hymns to help warm up these particularly nasty winter months. (Where's that global warming, Mr. Gore?) So Zachary Gresham is taking his Athens-based, Elephant 6-affiliated, Misra Records band Summer Hymns on the road. They'll be drumming up support for their album Backward Masks, which slipped in at the tail end of '06. Joining them on tour will be friends and fellow Athens residents Folklore.
