Joan Baez looks forward to 'Tomorrow' with fall tour
Joan Baez has lined up a late fall trek behind her forthcoming Steve Earle-produced studio album, "Day After Tomorrow," which drops in September.
The folk icon will play 14 shows in 10 cities during the outing, which kicks off Oct. 26 in Philadelphia. Highlights include two-night engagements in New York City (10/28-29), Boston (11/1-2) and San Francisco (11/18-19). Details are below.
"Day After Tomorrow" is the singer's 24th studio album and first since 2003's "Dark Chords on a Big Guitar." The new album is set to hit stores Sept. 9. Baez recorded the 10-track set in Nashville with an all-acoustic band featuring Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott, Viktor Krauss, Kenny Malone and Steve Earle, who penned an original track, "God is God," especially for the album.
"Within seconds of the first downbeat it was obvious that we had assembled the right crew," said Earle in a press statement. "The band dug deep and found the pulse of the song and then Joan breathed life into it, and we all knew that we were a part of something special."
"It's been a long time since I've had an entire album of songs that speak to the essence of who I am in the same way as the songs that have been the enduring backbone of my repertoire for the past 50 years," added Baez.
In 2005, Baez released "Bowery Songs," a collection of live recordings from her Nov. 2004 performance at New York City's Bowery Ballroom. That set includes four songs the singer had never recorded before: "Seven Curses" (by Bob Dylan), "Jerusalem" (by Earle), "Finlandia" and "Dink's Song."
