Cox Across America

To promote his upcoming film, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, actor John C. Reilly will hit the road on a seven-date mini rock tour as his character, Dewey Cox.

By John

Dewey Cox (Reilly) and his backing band, the Hard Walkers, will be playing such unknown hits as….well, there’s no way to tell exactly which songs Cox and Co. will play, but one can assume that select picks from the official soundtrack are expected. Cross your fingers for a scintillating rendition of “Let Me Hold You (Little Man).”

Bonus: every concert will show Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story before the jamming starts. What a night of festivities!

If you plan on purchasing tickets to this extraordinary event, they are being sold to members of the Dewey Cox Fan Club (yeah, I didn’t know it existed either) and given away through radio station promotions.

The tour kicks off at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland (obviously) before walking hard towards such cities as New York, L.A., San Francisco, Austin and Nashville.

If you’ve ever doubted the skills of C. Reilly, you’ll be hard pressed to criticize his gusto to rock as hard as he walks. Walk on, brother.
