MJ Lenderman has made the difficult decision to postpone the first three dates of his upcoming tour in support of Manning Fireworks due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina. The region, where most of Lenderman’s band and their families are based, has been severely affected by the natural disaster, leaving thousands without power, destroying infrastructure, and causing widespread damage to homes and businesses.
Rescheduled Tour Dates
Despite the setback, Lenderman remains committed to his fans and the tour. The tour will now kick off this Sunday in Knoxville, with rescheduled shows for Atlanta and Nashville to be announced soon. Lenderman, a native of Asheville, has also shared links to local disaster relief organizations for those who wish to support the recovery efforts in the region.
Unaffected Tour Schedule
The majority of Lenderman’s tour remains unaffected, with the Manning Fireworks route set to begin on October 6 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and continue through April of next year. The tour will feature opening acts such as Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band, Hollow Hand, Wild Pink, This Is Lorelei, and Nap Eyes.
Recent Television Appearance
Last month, MJ Lenderman & the Wind performed their single “Wristwatch” from Manning Fireworks on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This marked Lenderman’s solo debut on late-night television, with his bandmate Karly Hartzman joining him on backup vocals and tambourine for the performance.
