The pianist, singer and songwriter, Bruce Hornsby, has announced several new spring 2020 solo dates, to support his recent album, Absolute Zero. The LP from the three-time Grammy award winner followed the release of 2016’s Rehab Reunion.
In September, Hornsby revealed a handful of dates with yMusic. Tickets are available here and here.
Hornsby turned 65 on Nov. 23, 2019.
“My agency and the yMusic crowd conspired to get me back into that mode, because they presented me with this Southern Solo Tour and several dates with the great chamber ensemble, playing solo in the south and solo with violin, viola, cello, clarinet, flute and trumpet (the yMusic instrumentation) in the northeast. And I said yes to all of it.”

The genesis of Absolute Zero began within Hornsby’s work as a film composer for writer-director Spike Lee. Hornsby started collaborating with Lee in 1992; ultimately, in 2008, he began scoring for Lee.
