David Crosby<\/a> is hitting the road for a spring solo tour that will take him all across the U.S. The 23-date trek kicks off May 10th at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota and wraps up June 16th at the Criterion Theater in Bar Harbor, Maine. He\u2019ll be backed by his Sky Trails<\/em> band, which includes keyboardist James Raymond, bassist Mai Leisz, drummer Steve DiStanislao, guitarist Jeff Pevar and keyboardist\/singer Michelle Willis.<\/p>\n

The tour comes at a remarkable period of productivity for Crosby, who has released four solo albums over the past five years. By comparison, he released just three albums throughout his entire career prior to that. \u201cThe last couple of years have been the densest, longest writing surge I think I\u2019ve ever had,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/em> in 2016<\/a>. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense. Most people at my age are either lazy or they\u2019re just pulling the handle trying to get another hit. They feel that maybe they\u2019ve said everything they want to say. They also just don\u2019t work at it. I\u2019m not smarter or better than they are. It\u2019s just that the songs are coming to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year marks the 50th anniversary of not just the first Crosby, Stills and Nash album, but also the addition of Neil Young into the group, their first tour and their legendary set at Woodstock. A reunion tour of CSN or CSNY would be highly lucrative, but the group remains hopelessly fractured and any sort of reconciliation seems increasingly unlikely as the months tick by and the members announce their own separate albums and tours.<\/p>\n
