Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Shawn Colvin, Bruce Hornsby, and David Lindley have formed a collaborative ensemble and plan to tour the U.S. this summer. No dates have been confirmed as yet for the outing, which will begin in August and extend through September. The performances will feature solo sets, as well as the artists playing in various combinations and all together.
"The whole idea started when we were doing acoustic benefits together," Raitt says in a prepared statement. "Last December, Jackson, Bruce, and I did some shows for Hurricane Mitch relief. A few days after, we called each other and said that it was so much fun, we should really try to take this out on tour. We immediately thought to call Shawn Colvin and David Lindley to see if they would like to join up, with the idea that we would all be one band."
The group has no plans to record an album.
