Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell Announce Spring Tour Dates

Emmylou Harris' contribution as a singer and songwriter spans 40 years and includes 12 Grammy© Awards and a Billboard Century Award. She has recorded more than 25 albums and has lent her talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. In recognition of her remarkable career, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 2008.

Rodney Crowell's songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Norah Jones, Etta James and Grateful Dead among others. His 1988 breakthrough, Diamonds and Dirt, generated five #1 singles and a Grammy© Award for the song "After All This Time." In 2012, Crowell released KIN: Songs By Mary Karr and Rodney Crowell, which made its debut at #1 on the Americana and Country Rock album chart. His honors also include an ASCAP Lifetime Achievement Award and membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Richard Thompson's latest album, Electric, comes in what is arguably his most creatively productive period in a career that stretches back some 45 years, back to his emergence as a teen guitarist and songwriter with the groundbreaking Fairport Convention-the band that essentially invented the term "English folk-rock." His dozens of albums have been consistently high on critics' polls, and his guitar skills have earned him a Top 20 spot on Rolling Stone's list of Best Guitarists of All Time. Richard Thompson's many facets only seem to get more, well, multifaceted.
