Chris Cornell will be going an a brief solo acoustic trek across the U.S. and Canada this spring.
On the tour, which is being called the Songbook tour, Cornell will perform material from throughout his career including songs from Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave and material from his three solo records. A Seattle date has been set for May 1 at the Moore Theatre. Ticket information for the show has yet to be released.
The news of the tour comes one week after news of a live Soundgarden album was announced. The reunited grungers made a big splash in 2010 by getting back together but they only performed three public concerts (including one intimate set in Seattle). There is no word on any touring Soundgarden plans, however, since all of Cornell’s Soundgarden bandmates live in the neighborhood and they all seem to play nice together nowadays there is a better chance that previous local Cornell solo shows that Matt Cameron, Ben Shepard and Kim Thayil might grace the stage for a song or two.
