Greg Graffin has announced some tour dates this summer in support of his upcoming solo record, titled Cold As The Clay. The record is his first solo release since 1997's American Lesion and is due out July 10th in Europe and July 11th in North America.

For the project Graffin enlisted the help of producer bandmate Brett Gurewitz as well as three members of Winnipeg's the Weakerthans will be performing as Graffin's backing band on the project. Guitarist Stephen Caroll, drummer Jason Tait and bassist Greg Smith are reportedly participating. Guest vocals on the album were also provided by Anti labelmate and folk-jazz singer Jolie Holland.
