Pegi Young Set for 'DAVID LETTERMAN' Tonight; Kicks Off Tour This February

Young will be touring in support of her third album, Bracing For Impact (Vapor Records). The 11-song album is a powerful showcase for Pegi's elegantly spare and emotionally resonant vocals, and a lyrical sensibility marked by heartfelt expression and unflinching honesty. "I'm just trying to tell some stories and make music that I can get behind," she says, and that plainly stated truth threads its way through every song.

Bracing For Impact follows up 2010's Foul Deeds, which Pegi co-produced with veteran multi-instrumentalist Ben Keith . Her debut album, 2007's self-titled Pegi Young , was described by Allmusic.com as "an intimate, hopeful and melancholy look at life and love from a songwriter who has been there."

Pegi Young first became known via her longtime role as backup singer-onstage and on record-for her husband Neil Young . Pegi and Neil founded the non-profit Bridge School in 1986, serving children with severe speech and physical impairments. The Youngs are also the driving force behind the annual all-star Bridge School Benefit concerts.
