Columbus, Ohio producer RJD2 has carved out a dependably lucrative touring career. Thanks to his catalog, which includes one undisputed classic (Deadringer), a decent follow-up (Since We Last Spoke), and impressive production stints for others (Aceyalone's Magnificent City, Soul Position's albums), he's earned a swath of the same crowd that cheers along to the Roots, the now-defunct Jurassic 5 and Quannum at Bonnaroo and other jam band festivals. How else could dude headline a theater tour without a new album out since last year's The Third Hand?

As he did last year, RJD2 will roll with various members from the indie-rock band Happy Chichester as his backing band, and present a live experience that mixes organic interpretations of his vocal work alongside turntable renditions of instrumental hits. The tour dates are below.
