Norah Jones unveils lengthy U.S. tour itinerary

Norah Jones [ tickets ] supports her recently released sophomore album, "Feels Like Home," with a three-month tour of U.S. arenas and amphitheaters.

Jones and her backing group--known as The Handsome Band--launch the run in mid-August, and dates are set through mid-November. Tickets for almost all shows will hit the box office on Friday (5/21); details appear below.

Before the tour begins, Jones will give a pair of July performances in California--one in Santa Barbara on July 9, the other in Universal City on July 10--as part of a tribute to country singer Gram Parsons, who died of a drug overdose more than 30 years ago. In addition to Jones, those shows will also feature Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle.

Released in February, "Feels Like Home" is the follow-up to 2002's "Come Away With Me." The new set, which features the single "Sunrise," sold more than 1 million copies during its first week in stores, and debuted atop The Billboard 200 album chart.

"Come Away With Me" producer Arif Mardin returned to work with Jones on the new album, as did bassist Lee Alexander and guitarists Adam Levy, Kevin Breit, Tony Scherr and Jesse Harris (who wrote and co-wrote a number of songs on "Come Away With Me"). Drummer Andrew Borger and background vocalist Daru Odam rounded out the studio ensemble.

Guests include Dolly Parton, Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of The Band, and jazz drummer Brian Blade.

"Come Away With Me" earned Jones five Grammy trophies last year: Album of the Year, Record of the Year (for "Don't Know Why"), Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for "Don't Know Why") and Best Pop Vocal Album.
