The Acorn kicked off their first ever U.S. tour last Wednesday, and we couldn’t be happier that they’re making a stop in Boston next week. The Canadian six-piece will be playing at Great Scott on May 7 in support of their recently-released Glory Hope Mountain album, which is a semi-biographical retelling of the early life of singer, Rolf Klausener’s mother.

Faces on Film singer Mike Fiore will be performing solo at Great Scott next Monday. He’ll be playing stripped-down versions of tracks from the forthcoming Faces on Film album, The Troubles. Recording for The Troubles was completed late last year, but the release date is as of yet unannounced.
