Al Stewart With his Band The Empty Pockets

After Al’s US tour in 2019 with his band The Empty Pockets, he spent most of
2020 and 2021 sidelined due the COVID-19 pandemic. But in 2022, he came back
full force with a string of sold out shows in the United States and United Kingdom,
and he even made his debut in Israel. In 2023, he’ll continue his trek with several
shows throughout the United States. He will be playing his old favorites, like Year
Of The Cat, Time Passages, On the Border, Nostradamus and Roads To Moscow,
along with selections from his deep catalogue.

The Scottish-born singer-songwriter has released nearly 20 introspective and
lyrically powerful records featuring brilliant backing musicians (Jimmy Page, Phil
Collins, Richard Thompson, Peter White, etc.). His biggest platinum successes,
“Year Of The Cat” and “Time Passages”, were released in 1976 & 1978
respectively. He’s had several top 20 singles, including the above-mentioned titles,
as well as “On the Border” and “Song On The Radio”.

In Al’s own Words: “I'm just a folk singer that is interested in history and wine that
got lucky with some hit records! It's as simple as that really. I was always a huge
music fan and originally, I had wanted to be Brian Jones and then Bob Dylan, but
those two jobs were already taken. And in many ways, I'm still pretty much the
same troubadour that I was back in 1965. I still get a kick out of hearing the
Zombies, Hendrix or They Might be Giants on the radio.”
