Legendary musician Neil Young is set to return to the concert stage with his solo TWISTED ROAD Tour. In lieu of playing stadiums or more traditional concert venues, the shows for this solo tour will be held in some of the nation’s top performing arts venues. Young’s most recent live performances leading up to this tour have come on the final episode of "The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien" and the 2010 Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic games.This special solo, acoustic tour will give fans the opportunity to see Young in an intimate setting and, according to a press release about the tour, will afford them the opportunity to hear not-yet-released tracks from the legendary musician. British folk legend Bert Jansch will be opening all dates on the tour. Young’s trio of shows in Texas is a special treat for fans when you consider the fact that it has been seven years since he played in the state. His last Texas show was with Crazy Horse at Willy’s Picnic in 2003. During this run of dates, he will play Jones Hall in Houston, Bass Performance Hall in Austin, and Meyerson Syphony Center in Dallas.
Neil Young’s long, meandering career is a marvel to behold. The legendary musician has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on two separate occasions, once for his body of work as a solo artist and once as a member of Buffalo Springfield. His contributions as a solo artist and as a member of bands such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; Buffalo Springfield; and Crazy Horse have produced some of the most well known and beloved folk songs in history, and his music has influenced those far outside of the folk genre including Nirvana and Pearl Jam amongst others. If you have to opportunity to be a part of this special event, take advantage of it. This doesn’t come along every day.
Neil Young will be at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on Thursday September 23, 2010.
