Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins [ tickets ] is rolling out a summer/fall tour next month to support his new album, "How About Now."

Loggins will start in mid-June with a couple of shows in California and Nevada, and then do a string of July gigs in the Golden State. He'll move on to the East Coast in August before wrapping things up back on the West Coast in October.
The itinerary is included below.

The performer's latest set is among the inaugural slate of titles released as part of the Spotlight Music Series--a line of adult contemporary albums from 180 Music that is available exclusively through retail chain Target. The series focuses on new music from "legendary artists," according to a press release.

Loggins said that, when writing his latest collection of songs, he drew inspiration from his 2005 tour with former partner Jim Messina.

"When I finally went on the road with Jimmy Messina again for our 30-year reunion tour, I rediscovered the kind of music I was making as a kid--music that had acoustic guitar at the center and a certain level of joy and simplicity to it," Loggins said in a statement. "I started to think about what it would sound like if I was making my half of a Loggins & Messina record today; that's what I aimed [for] in the making of this new album."

"How About Now" comprises 12 original tracks infused with Loggins' roots-rock/country sound, including a new version of the 1973 Loggins & Messina hit "A Love Song."

"When I realized I wanted to re-record 'A Love Song,' I knew I needed to come up with an innovative way to go about it," Loggins said. "It really helped to have musicians in their 20s working on it with me; they had a fresh set of eyes and ears, which helped give the song a whole different sensibility."

Loggins, who has at least a dozen platinum-album awards in his trophy case, has scored a slew of hit songs over four straight decades, according to his website. He won Grammys in 1979 for "What a Fool Believes" and 1980 for "This Is It," and was nominated for an Academy Award in the '80s for "Footloose."
