In support of his new album, Soulfire, Little Steven (Steve Van Zandt)—with his band the Disciples of Soul—has announced a North American headline tour. The “Soulfire Tour 2017” begins September 23 at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., and ends in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in late October. The tour will be preceded by a special co-headlining appearance at the upcoming Laid Back Festival—a tribute show to Gregg Allman that includes Jackson Browne and Peter Wolf—set for Sept. 21 at Holmdel, N.J.’s PNC Bank Arts Center.
Tickets are available here and here.
Soulfire ( Wicked Cool/Big Machine/UMe) is available as CD, digital download and 180-gram black vinyl, the latter presented as a double LP housed in a gatefold sleeve with the music on sides 1-3 and a unique etching of Little Steven on side 4.
Soulfire is Van Zandt’s first solo album in close to two decades. It was arranged and produced by Van Zandt at his own Renegade Studios in New York City. Van Zandt is best known as a touring and recording member of the E Street Band, and also as an actor on The Sopranos and Lilyhammer, as well as host, historian and rock ’n’ roll advocate on Sirius XM’s “Little Steven’s Underground Garage” (and as creator of Sirius XM’s long-running “Outlaw Country” format).
