Stephen Stills Promises New Material on Solo Summer Tour
Stephen Stills has announced a month-long solo trek kicking off July 6th in Alexandria, Virginia and concluding with a two-night stint in San Juan Capistrano, California on August 4th and 5th. The tour will feature Crosby, Stills and Nash alumni Kevin McCormick (bass) and Todd Caldwell (keyboards) alongside new drummer Mario Calire.
Stills’ upcoming dates will be broken into two sets: one acoustic and one electric. Public on-sale tickets will be available Friday, May 15th through the musician’s website. A post on the site promises Stills – a former member of CSN(Y) and Buffalo Springfield – will perform “career-spanning favorites as well as new songs.”
Fans hoping for a full-fledged CSN reunion – or at least more than a folky reinterpretation of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” with Jimmy “Neil Young” Fallon – will have to keep waiting, at least through the summer. Stills’ former supergroup co-writers will be busy with their own outings: David Crosby, still promoting his 2014 LP, Croz, kicks off a month-long run June 6th in Kerrville, Texas; Graham Nash, after a stand-alone performance in Cleveland, Ohio on June 5th, will open his own run of dates July 12th in Courtenay, British Columbia.
CSNY’s last reunion came in 2013 with a nine-song set for the Bridge School Benefit. Crosby and Neil Young have continued to feud in recent months, but the latter rock icon joined Stills last month for a charity performance at the “Light Up the Blues” autism event in L.A.
