Is he touring with the band to every city?

Post by oyster »

As I am getting ready to purchase ticket for the show in Boston, I called up the Wang Theatre in Boston to ask whether or not Cohen will be accompanied by his band in Boston. And when I was told that he will be solo, I got confused? Does anyone know more? Thanks

from the FOX THEATRE DETROIT webpage...

"The North American tour comes fresh on the heels of Cohen's recent trek through Europe, Australia and New Zealand, where his performances earned more than 80 five-star reviews and which London's Daily Telegraph hailed "an extraordinary night of music." The tour includes dates in New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles as well as a special sunset performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA. Cohen will be joined by a full band, including Sharon Robinson and the Webb Sisters ? who have wowed crowds around the world with their rich and complementary background vocals ? as well as Roscoe Beck (bass, vocals), Neil Larsen (keyboards & Hammond B3 accordion), Bob Metzger (electric, acoustic & pedal steel guitar), Javier Mas (bandurria, laud, archilaud, 12-string acoustic guitar), Rafael Gayol (drums, percussion) and Dino Soldo (sax, clarinet, dobro, keys).. "

I think they might have meant "solo" as in he's not having an opener or anything...who knows though, pretty sure we're all seeing the band though, hopefully they sound AMAZING from what i've heard.
