Today, acclaimed singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt and Elephant 6 outfit Elf Power will launch an east coast US tour. The Athens, Georgia mainstays will be supporting October's collaborative album, Dark Developments. And what screams "celebrate Athens" more than a toast to one of college rock's favorite musicians—and Chesnutt's once time producer—Michael Stipe? It's only natural that Chesnutt and the Eleves will close their American tour with an appearance at a tribute concert to R.E.M. in New York before heading to Europe.
