More dates are trickling in for Billy Joel [ tickets ]'s 2008 tour schedule, which now features a handful of dates that begin later this month and are scattered into the spring.

New to Joel's schedule since last check is a late-February performance in Anaheim, CA, and a mid-April stop in Des Moines, IA. Tickets for the Anaheim show hit the box office this Saturday (1/19), and those for the Des Moines show are set to go on sale Jan. 26.

The shows complement an itinerary that currently begins with a previously announced Jan. 26 headlining performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra at The Academy of Music and, so far, comprises a half-dozen dates. Details are included below.

A portion of the proceeds from the Jan. 26 event will support the Philly Orchestra's Billy Joel Endowment Fund for Education. The donation marks the first time the Piano Man has created an endowment fund with an orchestra, although he has made significant donations to the music programs of several universities.

Joel's most recent album release is 2006's "12 Gardens Live," a two-disc set that features performances from his record-breaking 12-night stand at New York City's Madison Square Garden in April of that year.

Last February, Joel issued his first pop song since 1993, "All My Life," which was an anniversary present for his wife. The latest pop song he penned, "Christmas in Fallujah," is an anti-war tune that is performed by emerging singer/songwriter Cass Dillon.
