Fresh off the reunion of Soundgarden in 2010, singer-guitarist Chris Cornell is going back to basics with an acoustic tour this spring.

The solo tour will be Cornell’s first, although it follows up two acoustic concerts that took place about a year ago in Los Angeles.

The Songbook Tour will feature Cornell playing songs from throughout his career as well as sharing stories or memories tied to his work as a solo musician or a member of Soundgarden and Audioslave. Cornell also will perform some covers along his tour of North America, which begins April 1 in Austin, Texas.
