Jakob Dylan lines up summer dates behind solo debut
Singer/songwriter Jakob Dylan will hit the road for a summer headlining run behind his forthcoming debut solo album, "Seeing Things."
The Wallflowers ' frontman--the youngest son of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bob Dylan--will kick off the trek May 31 in Philadelphia. The 27-date tour sports several appearances at large outdoor festivals, including an Aug. 31 slot at Seattle's Bumbershoot and a Sept. 26 slot at Austin, TX's Austin City Limits Festival. All dates are included below.
Dylan releases his debut solo album, "Seeing Things," June 10. The mostly acoustic album was produced by legendary studio ace Rick Rubin, and was recorded at Rubin's home studio in the Hollywood Hills.
Prior to recording "Seeing Things," Dylan collaborated with Dhani Harrison (son of the late Beatles guitarist George Harrison) on a cover of the John Lennon song "Gimme Some Truth" for the Lennon tribute album "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur."
Dylan recorded five studio albums as a member of The Wallflowers, including the band's most recent release, 2005's "Rebel, Sweetheart," its final release on longtime record label Interscope. The group toured last fall for the first time in two years.
