Neil Young will kick off a new tour on Thursday, October 18th in Boise, Idaho in supoort of his new album, “Chrome Dreams II.” The concerts will run through December 13th in New York and include two nights at the historic Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada–the site of early legendary shows by the acclaimed singer-songwriter.

Young’s “Chrome Dreams II” features eight new and two classic Young songs. The set was recorded last summer in Northern California, with musicians including Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar, dobro and other instruments), Ralph Molina (drums) and Rick Rosas (bass)–all of them performing in concert with Young this fall.

Pegi Young is the opening artist on the tour. She released her debut album last summer on Vapor/Warner Bros. Records, followed by a series of sold-out shows in Northern California and New York.

On October 27-28th, Young will host the 21st annual Bridge School Concerts in Mountain View, California, which also features appearances by Metallica, John Mayer, Tom Waits with the Kronos Quartet, the trio of Eddie Vedder, Flea and Jack Irons, and others.
