Al Stewart on Tour

There is something special about an artist who can tell a captivating story through their music. Scottish singer/songwriter Al Stewart is one of them. Drawing crowds on tour since the 1960s, when his debut album, Year of the Cat hit the radio, Stewart takes his audience on a journey with him that they will never forget. Attending a show is a memorable experience, and can be somewhat of a history lesson. The folk singer started his career writing love songs, but after a run of bad luck in that department, Stewart, an avid history buff, decided to give his storytelling skills a whirl. Stewart's concerts are a glimpse into the past, telling his favorite tales from his years of scouring history books. His 1974 album, Past, Present and Future, outsold all of his previous albums combined. Stewart has maintained one of the most devoted and long-lasting audiences of the folk/rock genre. His 2022 tour with his band, The Empty Pockets, is set to span three countries, including the United States, UK and Israel. The 2022 tour will feature songs from all of Stewart's albums, including Year of the Cat, Time Passages, On the Border, Nostradamus, and Roads To Moscow. Catch Al Stewart and his band, The Empty Pockets on tour in 2022.

Al Stewart Live in Concert 

Al Stewart is a Scottish singer/songwriter who rose to stardom in the late 1960s as part of the British Folk Revival. When Stewart was a child, his mother moved him to an English town named Wimborne Minster, following the death of his father. His father, who served in the Royal Airforce, died in a plane crash during a training exercise before Stewart was born. He began his career by singing in local coffee shops around London. As his music career took off, Stewart released two back-to-back platinum-selling albums,The Year of the Cat and Time Passages. Stewart moved to the United States to reside in the Los Angeles area following the release of his album Year of the Cat in October 1976. Stewart prides himself on writing music that is a bit eccentric. His concerts draw fans who have been loyal to Stewart for decades. His 2022 tour follows several cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is long awaited and anticipated by fans.

    A Feast for the Ears!

    by Robert in Hereford on 1/14/24Rialto Theatre-Tucson - Tucson

    I've enjoyed singer/songwriter Al Stewart's music for decades and his live performance was spot on. He performed with The Empty Pockets, a talented band from Chicago whose music stands on its own. Having been introduced to them through their association with Al Stewart, I would see the Empty Pockets just for them. The performance filled the Rialto in Tucson with sound without overpowering our ears. A wonderful balance of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, sax, and flute. I look forward to their return next year.

    Outstanding

    by Curly on 1/14/24Rialto Theatre-Tucson - Tucson

    Incredible musicianship. Hard to believe his age when witnessing him sounding exactly as he did when songs were recorded. The man is sharp, witty, and I have a whole different respect for him. What a talent.

    Great show, great band

    by Roland on 1/14/24Rialto Theatre-Tucson - Tucson

    Third time seeing Al Stewart in Tucson, but first with his Band, Empty Pockets. They did not disappoint with their own material and were great with Al Stewart after the intermission. Al was great with all of his stories and humor. Go see him when he comes to your town.

    Another fine concert from a classic artist

    by ArizonaSteve on 1/13/24Rialto Theatre-Tucson - Tucson

    Really enjoyed Al Stewart's visit this year to Arizona. The Rialto Theatre is a cozy place for his kind of 'soft rock,' for lack of a better word. He remains in good voice, and has a fine backing band in the Empty Pockets. Their opening act was most enjoyable, as well. Hope Al and band come back again soon to Tucson.
