Sheryl Crow has added a whole new leg of US dates to an extensive world tour in support of her latest album, "Detours." The nine-time Grammy winner will kick things off next week with a handful of theater shows and a headlining performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, then move into amphitheaters in May for six weeks' worth of shows across the US. The second US leg is set to launch July 24 in Nashville and visit cities from coast to coast through late August.

Jimmy Buffett has added some new dates to his imminent "Year of Still Here" tour, extending the trek into fall with a pair of October shows. The veteran singer/songwriter tacked the pair of warm-weather concerts--both in California--onto the very end of his current itinerary, which begins tonight in Woodlands, TX.

Bryan Adams has booked a string of intimate, solo-acoustic shows across the US next month to promote his new album, "11." The 16-date trek is scheduled to kick off May 3 in New York City and couches the May 13 release of the new set, "11," so titled because it is the Canadian rocker's 11th album of original material and features 11 songs that he recorded in hotel rooms and backstage areas of concert venues across Europe over the past two years.

The Allman Brothers Band plans to reschedule its annual Beacon Theatre residency in New York City for early 2009. Last month, the group announced that its 15-show run at the venue, originally set to take place in May, would have to be put on hold while founding member and lead vocalist Gregg Allman continues to recover from Hepatitis C treatments.

Def Leppard recently postponed a half-dozen US and Canadian shows so that lead vocalist Joe Elliott could recover from an upper respiratory tract infection. The tour is expected to resume in Boise, Idaho, tomorrow night.
