If you can do it, getting outside your comfort zone and exploring how you feel in different scenarios is a good thing and a brave thing to do. As you say, a stage high off the ground is different to a room, as is an audience that knows you and one that doesn't. Keep exploring (and don't forget the south/south-east)!! All the best for the tour.
Oh no Teenage Fanclub is in Chicago that night. Hope you can post some solo recordings on here sometime. 💙
Touring the States solo sounds like diving into the very deep end. Good for you and have fun!
