The Ann Arbor show was announced on Tuesday, along with shows in Pittsburgh on Thursday and one in Columbus on Saturday. 

These shows come after the release of his "No Name" album, and White said on social media that even though the small shows are being announced as they go, they can still be considered part of a tour. 

"People keep saying that these are "Pop up shows" we've been playing, well, you can call them whatever you want, but we are on tour right now," White said in the statement. "These are the 'shows.' We won't really be announcing dates in advance so much, we will mostly be playing small clubs, back yard fetes, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses."

White has played a few shows in Michigan this year, including the Michigan Central reopening concert and a show at  Saint Andrew's Hall.

After his show on Sunday, White will reunite with former Hentchmen bandmates to perform at the Hamtramck Labor Day Festival. They are scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. on Monday. Admission to the festival is free.
