From Sallisaw to Safety Harbor, Americana diehards fall down in the wake of John Moreland’s painfully-introspective lyricism and deceptively-genius approach to songwriting.

The 38-year-old Oklahoma-native just announced a new round of 2024 tour dates, which kick off this spring in Safety Harbor. Tickets to see John Moreland play Safety Harbor Arts & Music Center on Thursday, Feb. 1 go on sale Friday, Nov. 3 and start at $30.

Moreland—who last played SHAMC in 2018—is on the road in support of his 2022 album, Birds in the Ceiling, where he challenged his fans by going ina more electronic, experimental direction for a record that still features a lot of the darkness from past outing, just in a different overcoat.

Other Florida cities on Moreland’s tour include Ponte Vedra (Feb. 2) and Gainesville (Feb. 3). Chris Staples—a gem of a Sunshine State songwriter who just played a sold-out St. Pete show—opens.
