Good ol’ Billy Bragg is making a quick trip through North America, including multiple performances during SXSW. This whirlwind tour will also include an appearance on Late Night With Conan O’Brien on March 15. This is all to support the reissues of his fantastic back catalog on Yep Roc. In fact, the box set is due in stores today, so zip out to your favorite music retail location and pick it up. His opener for this mini-tour happens to be Jill Sobule. Yes, that Jill Sobule.
