42 WestThere's two times the good news from Chris Cornell today. Not only is the Soundgarden frontman releasing a solo album this year, he's supporting it with a North American acoustic tour.
The album, titled Higher Truth, will hit retailers September 18. It's Cornell's first solo effort since the 2011 live album, Songbook, which he also backed with an acoustic tour. Higher Truth is his fifth solo effort overall.
The tour itself begins two days after Higher Truth's release, kicking off September 20 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. It's scheduled to wrap November 2 in Austin, Texas, after 29 dates in all, including two Canadian dates.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday morning, June 5, though if you sign up for Cornell's email list, you'll be able to buy them a day in advance, though American Express card members can buy tickets as early as Wednesday. Regardless, a dollar from every ticket sold will benefit the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, which Chris created with his wife to help children vulnerable to homelessness, poverty, abuse or neglect.
