NEW YORK, NY (Columbia Records) - T Bone Burnett will embark on his first concert tour in nearly 20 years beginning May 23 at The Vic Theatre in
Chicago (see itinerary following).
The True False Identity Tour will hit theaters and outdoor venues in 15 U.S. cities in conjunction with the simultaneous release, on May 16, of the acclaimed songwriter and musician's two new albums: The True False Identity, T Bone's first studio album in 14 years, and Twenty Twenty - The Essential T Bone Burnett, the artist's 40-song first-ever career-spanning retrospective.
T Bone's band on this major headlining tour will consist of many of the musicians he worked with on The True False Identity and numerous musical projects over the years: Jim Keltner on drums, Marc Ribot on guitar, Dennis Crouch on bass and Keefus Ciancia on keyboards.
Jakob Dylan, who shares a long-standing friendship and musical history with T Bone, will appear as a very special guest on the tour. The two last collaborated in the mid-nineties, when Jakob's band, The Wallflowers, worked with producer Burnett on the group's multi-platinum Bringing Down The Horse album. Jakob will perform on all but one of the concerts on the tour. On June 15, in San Francisco, T Bone will be joined by Peter Hayes & Robert Levon Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
T Bone's long hiatus from recording and performing opened the door for one of music's most multi-faceted and successful careers. His multitude of musical identities have included: Grammy-winning producer (the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack, the Tony Bennett and k.d. lang album, "A Wonderful World"); Oscar-nominated songwriter ("The Scarlet Tide" from Cold Mountain); indie record label founder (DMZ Records); soundtrack composer/Executive Music Producer (Walk The Line, The Big Lebowski) and versatile studio wizard (Tony Bennett, Elvis Costello, Counting Crows, Alison Krauss, k.d. lang, Roy Orbison, Sam Phillips, Ralph Stanley, The Wallflowers, Gillian Welch and Cassandra Wilson).
