'Treme' Tour to Bring HBO Show's Musicians Across U.S.

Star Wendell Pierce, who portrays trombonist Antoine Batiste, will record a spoken-word piece detailing the history of the musically rich neighborhood in New Orleans. He will also appear in person at select gigs.

A tour of New Orleans musicians under the banner of the HBO show Treme has booked nine dates this summer, and the promoter is looking to extend its routing into the spring of 2012.
