New Zealander experimental pop artist Liam Finn will open for Eddie Vedder’s 14 solo concerts from August 1-22, then will go out on his first North American solo headlining tour from September 4 in New York City to October 10 in Providence, RI.

Finn has rock and roll pedigree: he is the son of Neil Finn (Split Enz/Crowded House). They collaborated when they covered The Beatles’ song “Two of Us” for the “I Am Sam” film soundtrack, which also contained a track by Vedder, the frontman of Pearl Jam.

Finn’s regular collaborator Eliza-Jane Barnes will accompany him on tour as will special guests The Veils. He is known for a wild one-man performance.

“I think the fact of doing this looping, one-man-band sort of thing really keeps you on your toes and keeps it fresh,” Finn said in a statement. “The more you mess up, the more you’re forced to turn it into a good mess and people seem to respond more. I find it really stimulating. I just love the danger of it, really.”
