While recording songs for Jim Sampas' documentary about Jack Kerouac, Son Volt's Jay Farrar and Death Cab for Cutie's Benjamin Gibbard realized they both shared an affinity for the famed Beat writer. After recording songs for the film, the pair continued to work on songs using words from Kerouac's novel Big Sur, and released One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur, which shares the same name as the documentary, which is due in October.

Cleary kindred spirits, the two are now touring together, and when they stop by the Boulder Theater on Tuesday, January 26, they'll be bringing along some of their band mates -- Nick Harmer from Death Cab for Cutie and Mark Spencer from Son Volt -- and be joined by Jon Wurster (Superchunk, Bob Mould and the Mountain Goats). General admission tickets are $29.50 and go on sale Friday, December 11 at 10 a.m.

Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, meanwhile, who released Crazy Love on Reprise last month, visits the Pepsi Center Tuesday, March 30. Ticket prices range from $49.50 to $89.50 and go on sale Friday, December 11 at 10 a.m. Nick Jonas takes a break from touring with his brothers and brings his own group, the Administration, to the Paramount Theatre Saturday, January 23 in support of his forthcoming album, Who I Am, which hits the streets February 2. Reserved seats are $39.50 and go on sale Saturday, December 12 at 10 a.m. For a complete rundown of the most recent shows that have been announced, the ones that are about to go on sale or are already on sale, follow the jump.
