Bill Callahan’s latest album, My Days of 58, is released on Friday 27th February 2026 and the occasion will be celebrated with a series of solo instore dates in the UK. Callahan has also announced a series of full band dates for the autumn of 2026.
The album applies the energies of Callahan’s live shows to the studio process, while sharpening his slice-of-life portraiture. The twelve tunes feature the core musicians that toured for 2022’s YTI⅃AƎЯ: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Jim White, whose synergy was evident on 2024’s live album, Resuscitate!. This touring experience showed Callahan “that they could handle anything I threw at them,” as he puts it, adding: “Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It’s all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes — making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.”
My Days of 58 is Callahan’s eighth studio album, following YTI⅃AƎЯ. In addition to the core band there are contributions from Richard Bowden (fiddle), Pat Thrasher (piano), Chris Vreeland (bass), Mike St. Clair (trombone), Bill McCullough (pedal steel), Eve Searls (backing vocals), and Jerry DeCicca (tambourine).
Callahan’s UK in-store dates take place this week leading up to the album release. You can see the video for one of the tracks, Lonely City, below.
He has also announced his return not just to the UK, but to the European continent as well, for a full-band tour, the dates for which are listed below. Tickets are on sale from Friday 27th February 2026 and you can get them via this link.
