Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy Are Taking Their R.E.M. Tribute On Tour

Every once in a while, the scary-intense Oscar-nominated movie star Michael Shannon gets together with his Chicago friend Jason Narducy, from the Bob Mould Band and Split Single, to pay tribute to a classic album. In the past few years, Shannon and Narducy have performed LPs from the likes of the Smiths, Neil Young, and the Modern Lovers in full. In July, the two of them got some friends together and performed all of R.E.M.’s beloved 1983 debut Murmur at the Metro in Chicago, and actual R.E.M. member Mike Mills came out to join them. Next year, Shannon and Narducy are taking their R.E.M. act on the road.
