Bruce Springsteen 'Seeger Sessions' dates set in Europe
Bruce Springsteen has announced a round of European concerts to back the release of his forthcoming Pete Seeger tribute album, "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions."
The shows, which run throughout May, will follow Springsteen's April 30 appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival. His confirmed itinerary is below; details about a US tour will be announced "soon," according to a press release.
Springsteen's band for the European "Seeger Sessions" outing will include Sam Bardfeld (violin), Art Baron (tuba), Frank Bruno (guitar), Jeremy Chatzky (upright bass), Larry Eagle (drums), Clark Gayton (trombone), Charles Giordano (accordion, keyboards), Curtis King (vocals), Greg Liszt (banjo), Lisa Lowell (vocals), Eddie Manion (sax), Cindy Mizell (vocals), Curt Ramm (trumpet), Marty Rifkin (pedal steel guitar), Patti Scialfa (vocals), Mark Thompson (vocals) and Soozie Tyrell (violin).
The "Seeger Sessions" disc, due in stores April 25, features Springsteen's interpretations of 13 traditional songs, all of which are associated with folk artist Pete Seeger.
The album will be issued in DualDisc format (or as a CD/DVD package in some territories), with audio content on one side and video on the other. The 13-track album will be supplemented with two bonus tracks, 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes video content, and a special booklet that includes a note from Springsteen.
