The insanely talented Dan Auerbach will be touring this Fall and performing at two of the biggest festival in the U.S. First in August, he'll be taking the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Dan Auerbach: "Trouble Weighs a Ton" Video :: 2009 Tour Dates

Dan Auerbach is a name you might not be familiar with.  He's actually the frontman of The Black Keys.  Now that definitely rings a bell, right?  He's getting ready to release a solo album entitled, Keep It Hid.  The disc, due out February 10th will be released via Nonesuch.  "This record is a mixture of things I like to listen to, psychadelia, soul music, country harmonies," says Auerbach. 

Keep It Hid was produced and engineered by Auerbach at his studio, Akron Analog, and features him playing a variety of instruments, including drums, guitar, percussion, and keyboards. Many of Auerbach’s friends and family play on the album, including his uncle James Quine, who contributes vocal harmony and electric guitar on the track “Street Walkin.” Other musicians include fellow Ohioans Jessica Lea Mayfield, who sings on the track “When the Night Comes,” and Bob Cesare, who plays drums on “Whispered Words,” a song originally written by Auerbach’s father. Of the recording process Auerbach states, “I wanted a live, organic sound. Nothing was too plotted or planned, just a lot of spontaneity.” The record was mixed by Auerbach’s good friend Mark Neill at Neill’s Soil of the South studio.

I really like the album so far.  The songs are more mellow and show a softer side of Auerbach.  Just take the video down below as evidence.  "Trouble Weighs a Ton" features his uncle, James Quine.
