LOS ANGELES (Top 40 Charts) -
Sheryl Crow and
Train are joining forces for a summer tour with an outdoor-sports tie-in. The Jeep World Outside Festival, kicking off July 10 in Charlotte, North Carolina, will also feature a village with a 30-foot-high ski jump, ice and rock climbing walls, a mountain-biking course, and a wave machine.
Twenty-three shows are currently scheduled through mid-August. Other main-stage acts include Ziggy Marley and O.A.R. , with second-stage performers to be announced.
Crow will tour behind her new release, C'mon, C'mon. Appropriately, she considers the release a "summer" album, despite its more introspective origins.
She tells, "This record came out of a lot of introspection and yet it turned out to be a real upbeat kind of high testosterone kind of record. And that was my intent, you know, to make a record that was kind of full of bravado."
C'mon, C'mon checks in at Number Four on the current Billboard 200 chart.
Train, meanwhile, continues work on the follow-up to its hit 2001 album, Drops Of Jupiter. The band will likely debut some of the new material on the tour.
