Emmylou Harris Tour dates 2008 www.tixx.com

Legendary Southern songbird Emmylou Harris will be hitting the road this summer for a North American tour.

Harris has already done some touring this year, first with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller in January, and a month later as a headliner on the 2008 Cayamo Cruise. Her summer tour will be in support of her upcoming album, All I Intended To Be, due out June 10 on Nonesuch Records.

The new record is Harris’ first solo release since 2003’s Stumble Into Grace. The singer/songwriter recorded the new album over a four-year period with her longtime producer Brian Ahern at his studio in Nashville. All I Intended To Be will contain both original material and some of Harris’ all-time favorite songs, featuring guest vocals by Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and Buddy Miller.

In addition to preparing for the new album’s release, Harris was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday. Country Music Association CEO Tammy Genovese said, "Harris possesses the voice of an angel. She is one of the most revered song interpreters on the planet, and has been instrumental in preserving country music’s past while expanding country music’s horizons throughout her career." We couldn’t agree more.

Harris’ summer tour kicks off May 23 in Monterey, Calif., and will also feature Jimmy Gaudreau and Moondi Klein.
