Lofgren Eyes U.K. Run
Lofgren has definitely carved out a unique career over the years. While still a teenager, Lofgren played piano and guitar on Neil Young’s 1970 album After The Gold Rush and appeared on Young’s Tonight’s The Night album and tour.
Lofgren has also enjoyed a successful solo career with his choir boy-like voice, deft guitar work and solid songwriting attracting fans for more than three decades. These days he’s more likely to be identified as a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, a position he’s held for more than 25 years. The upcoming U.K. tour marks Lofgren’s first excursion to the British Isles since Springsteen and E Street wrapped up their world tour last year.
Lofgren launches the tour in Basingstoke at the Anvil Oct. 12, plays Birkenhead at the Pacific Road Arts Centre Oct. 13, Manchester’s Lowry Oct. 14 and lands in London at Cadogan Hall Oct. 15. Other stops include Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Preston, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Southampton and Salisbury.
