After Al&rsquo\;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&rsquo\;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.
\n\nThe 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\, &ldquo\;Year Of The Cat&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Time Passages&rdquo\;\, were released in 1976 &\; 1978 respectively. He&rsquo\;s had several top 20 singles\, including the above-mentioned titles\, as well as &ldquo\;On the Border&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Song On The Radio&rdquo\;.
\n\nIn Al&rsquo\;s own Words: &ldquo\;I&rsquo\;m just a folk singer that is interested in history and wine that got lucky with some hit records! \; It&rsquo\;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&rsquo\;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.&rdquo\;
