Neil Young will be play at Summerest 2015 and he will be
headlining the Marcus Amphitheater on July 3rd.
Neil Young was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1945 and
began his career at the young age of 15 in 1960 covering “The Shadows” band.
Young is known for his lyrics, which at times get very personal, and his
singing voice which is high-pitched for a male. Young has the distinction of
being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, first as a solo
artist in 1995, and then again two years later for his work as a member of the
group known as “Buffalo Springfield”. Young was actually one of the founders of
Buffalo Springfield along with Richie Furay and Stephen Stills.
Neil Young has had a very long and successful solo career.
Young released his first solo album in 1968, and since then he has released a
grand total of 35 solo albums in his career with his most recent ones being
“Storytone” and “A Letter Home” released in 2014. Throughout the course of his
career, Young has won a handful of Juno Awards such as Album of the Year for
“Harvest Moon” in 1994, Vocalist of the Year in 1995, and Artist of the Year in
2011.
Earlier this month Neil Young announced his next tour. It
will be called the Rebel Content Tour, and the tour will run from July 5-22 of
this year. Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real will be guests of the
Tour, and they will be performing with Young when he headlines the Marcus
Amphitheater on July 3. Part of the purpose of this tour will be to promote his
upcoming album “The Monsanto Years” which will be released on June 16th.
