In his first live appearances since he was forced to cancel a US tour and some UK dates last June, Bert Jansch is set to go on tour in the US with Neil Young this month. Bert will be Neil’s special guest on his upcoming tour which kicks off May 18 2010 in Albany, NY. Having been Neil’s special guest, Bert is delighted to then play some solo shows on the West Coast with Pegi Young (Neil’s wife) and her band as Bert’s own special guest.
After that, Bert heads to Chicago for another solo show (with Meg Baird from Espers opening), ahead of an appearance at Eric Clapton’s prestigious Crossroads Guitar Festival (in aid of the Crossroads Centre in Antigua) at Toyota Park on June 26.
