From May 19-22, the trio will be making four appearances in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, and from June 2-4, the tour continues at three venues in San Diego and the Los Angeles area. The Coaches Tour 2008 begins May 19 at Back Forty BBQ in Pleasant Hill and concludes June 4 at Gordon Biersch Restaurant in Pasadena.
