About Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy - Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of R.E.M.’s Fables of the Reconstruction

Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy And Friends have announced a 2025 UK tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of R.E.M.’s iconic 1985 album, Fables of the Reconstruction. After the pair’s acclaimed, sold out run honouring R.E.M.’s famed debut album Murmur, which saw the four original members of R.E.M. come together for the first time in 17 years at the tour’s Athens stop in the US, the Fables tour will bring Shannon & Narducy together again for a run of very special live performances in the UK.

Kicking off Tuesday, August 19th at Gorilla in Manchester, the tour will see Shannon & Narducy - alongside Jon Wurster (drums), Nick Macri (bass), Dag Juhlin (guitar), and Vijay Tellis-Nayak (keyboards)—playing Fables of the Reconstruction in full each night in addition to many other R.E.M. songs. The tour also sees two nights at The Garage in north London, a short journey from the city's Livingston Studios where Fables was originally recorded with producer Joe Boyd.
