TOUR BEGINS APRIL 1, 2011 IN AUSTIN, TX This Spring, Chris Cornell will embark on his first-ever solo acoustic “Songbook” tour. Running from April through May 2011, it will spotlight songs from throughout his career, as well as a few surprise covers.
Back in December 2009, Cornell played his first acoustic “Songbook” show in Los Angeles at the Hotel Cafe to overwhelming response - the show sold out instantly. A second performance soon followed at the city's famous Troubadour. Now, live audiences across the US & Canada will also have the chance to see Chris perform unplugged, up close and personal - an event many fans have been eagerly anticipating for years. Within this alternative setting, Cornell can easily interact with the audience and share insights about his music. Familiar songs emerge in a new context, showing that great songwriting translates to any idiom.

Wot, no Soundgarden?
I'm beginning to think that whole reunion thing didn't go quite as smoothly as they'd hoped.
I know. Seems like this was Cornell using his old band to buy back his cred when he probably never had any intention of working with them in the first place. I hope I'm wrong, but yeah, a CC solo tour isn't the news everyone wanted.

Summer is still open, but that'd be hurried practice sessions in June. I will attempt Town Hall tix, but unless they're prime I probably won't attend.
He did kick ass in '07 though, without a doubt. But I'd surely take Soundgarden over this... like it needs to be said.

Well I'll probably go to the show here in dump-ass Poughkeepsie since I can walk to the venue. And the Bardavon actually is a pretty incredible place to see a show. I feel obligated more than anything though just because its a decent show right here in town that I don't have to hop on the train to get to the city for.
