Joan Baez to spend next few months touring

Joan Baez is going to be one very busy woman this summer.

On Monday, Baez announced a summer tour of the U.S., including a special acoustic date with Jackson Browne and Emmylou Harris, and a late trek down under for the first time in 25 years.

All of it starts June 1 in Boulder, CO with the U.S. leg ending June 29 in New Bedford, MA. Then, on July 27, Joan, Jackson and Emmylou will perform at a special benefit for the Downtown Streets Team at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. The charity helps the homeless in the San Jose area.
