## The Tour and Special Guests
Throughout the Summer of Sorcery tour in 2017 - 2019, the band was joined by a host of legendary friends and family. The highlight at The Beacon Theatre was a surprise appearance by Peter Wolf.

Superstar guests like Australian legends Jimmy Barnes and Peter Garrett, E Street Band's Nils Lofgren, and the iconic Nick Gravenites joined in. Peter Wolf even made a comeback for an explosive cover of The Showstoppers’ “(Ain’t Nothin’ But A) Houseparty”. The tour ended with a star-studded “Sun City” featuring Jimmy Barnes, Jake Clemons, Sam Fender, Peter Garrett, Courtney Hadwin, Garland Jeffreys, and Bruce Springsteen.
## Album Details and Production
Arranged and produced by Van Zandt, with assistance from GRAMMY® Award-winner Geoff Sanoff, the album kicks off with a special intro from counterculture icon Wavy Gravy. It takes you through Little Steven's genre-smashing works, from *Summer of Sorcery* and *Soulfire* to classic songs from his career. Highlights include covers of The Youngbloods’ “On Sir Francis Drake,” The Dovells’ “Bristol Stomp,” The Animals’ “Club-A-Go-Go,” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Tucson Train”.
