Don Henley will launch a solo tour in October 2015 that will include concerts in Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Dallas,
TX; Denver, CO; Detroit, MI; Durham, NC; Los Angeles, CA; Nashville, TN; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA;
Port Chester, NY; San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; Toronto, ON and Washington, D.C. Singer-songwriter
Shawn Colvin will open on all the dates.
Each ticket ordered for any of the tour dates will receive a CASS COUNTY deluxe CD. Ticket buyers will receive
an email notification to confirm the delivery details for their album. Full tour details will be announced shortly.
CASS COUNTY was produced by Don Henley and Stan Lynch, who also co-wrote 11 of the songs on the album,
and represents both Henleys roots and the next stop on his creative journey. I was born and raised in Texas.
I'm a Southerner and a Texan. So this is a natural progression for me. It's who I am and where I come from,
says Don Henley.
Recorded primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, and Dallas, Texas, the album includes guest appearances from
Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert, Mick Jagger, Martina McBride, Jamey Johnson, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill and
Dolly Parton. When asked about making the album, Henley exclaimed, I can truthfully say, I enjoyed making this
record more than any record Ive made in my career because of the people who participated. John Sebastian
was dead right in 1965 or 1966 when he wrote that song Nashville Cats. Its still true all these years later. There
are some amazing musicians here.

Don Henley, both as solo artist and as a member of the Eagles, has received countless accolades, numerous
gold and platinum records and performed sold-out concert tours worldwide. A highly respected, popular and
critically celebrated musical artist, Henley is a founding member, vocalist and songwriter of the Eagles, who
pioneered and epitomized a musical style of country, folk, rhythm and blues, rock, and pop and has become one
of the most influential bands in America. Henleys solo career is equally as acclaimed with such hits as Dirty
Laundry, Heart Of The Matter, Boys Of Summer, The End Of The Innocence, and All She Wants To Do Is
Dance. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, and will receive the 2015 Kennedy Center
honors later this year, as a member of the Eagles.
Henleys career as a musician and activist continues to evolve. In 1990, he founded the Walden Woods Project
(www.walden.org), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting the historic woods in Massachusetts
where author/philosopher Henry David Thoreau first championed the concept of land conservation. The Project,
celebrating its 20th anniversary in April 2010, has protected vast tracts of Walden Woods from the threat of
commercial development, has created a highly acclaimed environmental educational initiative for students
(www.worldwidewaldens.org), and maintains the most important library of Thoreau-related research material in
the world. In addition, Henley founded the Caddo Lake Institute in his native East Texas, a privately operating
foundation to act as an "ecosystem-specific" sponsoring entity, underwriting local wetland science and
conservation education including cultural and ecological research and monitoring. Henley also co-founded the
Recording Artists' Coalition, a nonprofit, nonpartisan group formed to represent the interests of recording artists.
