Soundgarden never played New Haven Coliseum. Not even Toad’s Place. But on the night of November 20, 2013 New Haven music fans got the next best thing: a solo performance by Chris Cornell himself at the beautiful, historic Shubert Theater.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
Chris Cornell
Songbook North American Acoustic Tour 2013
Wednesday November 20, 2013
The Shubert Theater – New Haven
About The Tour:After a successful 2011 solo tour, Chris Cornell went out on the road again by himself for a 30-city, two month North American tour in the fall of 2013. The tour kicked off in San Diego on October 15, 2013 and wrapped up with a pair of shows in Atlantic City in late November. On this tour Cornell covered his extensive catalogue and then some. From Soundgarden to Audioslave to stripped down covers by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. He did a little of everything and his fans loved every second of it.
The show at The Shubert Theatre was a sellout. Every dollar of every ticket sold that night went towards The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, and a portion of the sales also benefited The ChildHavens Creative Music Therapy Program. Chris Cornell was all about giving back.
