Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul have announced details of their anticipated North American headline tour. The “Soulfire Tour 2017” begins September 23rd at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY and then travels North America through late October. The tour will be preceded by a very special co-headline appearance at the upcoming Laid Back Festival – a tribute show to Gregg Allman that includes Jackson Browne and Peter Wolf — set for Thursday, September 21st, at Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center.
The “Soulfire Tour 2017” celebrates the recent release of Little Steven’s sensational new solo album, Soulfire, available now via Wicked Cool/Big Machine/UMe. The album 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 Stevie Van Zandt’s first solo album in close to two decades and without question his purest and most uniquely personal artistic statement thus far. The album sees the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revisiting songs that span the length of his career as artist, performer, producer, arranger, and songwriter, focusing directly on the hugely influential “soul horns-meet-rock ‘n’ roll guitars” approach he first pioneered on Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes’ classic first three albums.
