If you want to make sure your new record sells reasonably well in a particular city, there are probably worse things you can do than play a series of in-store shows at the city’s best-known record stores. Today, to mark the release of Smoke Ring for My Halo, Kurt Vile will bring his sun-baked, hazy country-rock to Academy Records (5pm), Generation Records (7pm) and Other Music (9pm). You should definitely go to one of them, and if you go to all three, call us. We want to hang out with you.
