The Bob Bradley arranged and co-produced Acoustic III is said to be a new departure from its predecessors, featuring “more varied arrangements” and “up-tempo funky grooves,” according to a statement.
Additionally, the album will feature new arrangements of some of the group’s most beloved hits via reinterpretations including “Northern Soul” and “My Own Hymn and Happiness Amplified.” Newer tracks like 2019’s “Waltz” and “There’s Only You” will also see new adaptations.
The Acoustic III tour will kick off in London at the Alexandra Place Theatre on April 24 and will continue with 15 other stops in cities including Montreal, New York and Los Angeles, among others. The band will wrap the dates in Morrison, Colo. with a special performance alongside the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
