Music News - Don Henley to tour Australia & New Zealand in 2017 with special guest Jewel
16 November 2016 - 0 Comments
Frontier Touring are honoured to announce the
return of Eagles co-founder, vocalist and drummer Don Henley to
Australia and New Zealand in March 2017 for a run of indoor and a day on the green outdoor
shows.
Last in Australia and New Zealand in early 2015 with the Eagles, Don Henley’s
2017 tour will see him perform songs spanning his entire career from the Eagles
and his vast solo catalogue, including songs from his latest album Cass County (out
now through Capitol Records) which was named after the East Texas county in
which he was raised.
Don Henley will be joined on stage by his fifteen-piece band for a show that
has had critics raving in the USA and UK:
‘A revelatory
and rewarding journey.’ - LA Times
‘He sounds
terrific and hit every high note flawlessly’ - Michigan
Live
‘The entire evening
is literally hit after hit that has defined his career from the Eagles and as a
solo artist.’ - Seattle Music News
‘★★★★★’ - Herald Scotland
Joining Don Henley on all of his Australian and New Zealand dates will be
American singer-songwriter Jewel.
The multi GRAMMY Award winner launched to stardom in 1995 with the release of
her debut album Pieces Of You, which went on to become one of the best-selling
debut albums of all time. With more than 25 million record sales to date,
her impressive back catalogue includes hits such as Who Will Save Your Soul, You Were Meant
For Me, Foolish Games, Intuition and Hands. Jewel has graced the
cover of TIME Magazine
and has been recognized as one of the most “sparkling songwriters since Joni Mitchell "by the London Times.
Touring in support of her new album Picking
Up The Pieces (out now through Sugar Hill Records), her latest work
marks a return to the sound of her breakthrough first album, with strong
emotional narrative and stripped down accompaniment.
Don Henley, as both a solo artist and as a member of the Eagles, has received
many accolades, including eight GRAMMY Awards, numerous gold and platinum
records and performed sold‐out concert tours worldwide. A respected, popular
and critically celebrated musical artist, Henley is a founding member, vocalist
and songwriter of the Eagles, one of the most influential bands in America.
Henley’s solo career is acclaimed with such hits as Dirty Laundry, Heart Of The Matter, The Boys Of Summer, The End Of The Innocence, and All She Wants To Do Is Dance. He was
inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Henley’s career as a musician and activist continues to evolve. In 1990, he
founded the Walden Woods Project, a not‐for‐profit
organization dedicated to protecting the historic woods in Massachusetts where
author/philosopher Henry David Thoreau first championed the concept of land
conservation.
The Project, celebrating its 25th anniversary, has protected vast tracts of
Walden Woods from the threat of commercial development, has created a highly acclaimed environmental educational initiative for
students, and maintains the most important library of Thoreau‐related research
material in the world. In addition, Henley founded the Caddo Lake
Institute in his native East Texas, a privately operating foundation to act as
an "ecosystem‐specific" sponsoring entity, underwriting local wetland
science and conservation education including cultural and ecological research
and monitoring. Henley also co‐founded the Recording Artists' Coalition, a
non profit, nonpartisan group formed to represent the interests of recording
artists.
