Jerry Cantrell 2022 Tour Announcement – US Tour Schedule
Jerry Cantrell is heading out on a solo tour in 2023, taking the Alice in Chains guitarist to many US cities. He’ll kick off on February 21st in Ventura, CA, making stops in Tucson, AZ, Beverly, MA, Denver, CO, and more before finishing up on April 1st in Tacoma, WA.
Cantrell continues to support his third solo album, 2021’s Brighten. Described as a “journey up through the darkness to light,” it’s a post-pandemic masterpiece that puts Cantrell’s guitar skills on full display. You may already know how talented he is based on decades with Alice in Chains and endless accolades, such as being called a “Riff Lord” by Metal Hammer and making No. 38 on Guitar World’s list of the “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time.” However, his solo work takes shredding to the next level. You’ll have a great time on this Jerry Cantrell tour with new tracks like “Atone,” “Siren Song,” and “Brighten,” proving him as a heavy metal hitmaker in every way.
“I think a lot of my music is thematically the struggle between light and dark, and the necessity of both, you know?” Cantrell told SPIN last year, “You have to have both sides of the coin.” “You’ve got to have positive and negative. The yin and yang. Although something may feel one way, it may mean something completely different. Those are fun themes to play with, too.” There was a silver lining to the darkness of the pandemic for Cantrell, as he finally had time to release his first solo album in nearly two decades!
The Alice in Chains tour was cut short in 2020, while Cantrell had taken a 20-year hiatus since 2002’s Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2. What better time to record a solo album than in the middle of quarantine, as we learned from countless other groups? Cantrell followed their lead and released one of his greatest pieces of work in years, putting his heavy metal roots on full display while also incorporating a bit of alternative rock and country. You know you’re a grand guitarist when members of Guns N’ Roses, Pantera, and even Elton John can’t stop gushing about your skills. And if you’re impressed by Cantrell’s shredding on Brighten, just wat until you hear him play live!
