LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Singer-songwriter Pegi Young is once again hitting the road with her acclaimed recording and touring band, The Survivors: legendary keyboard player Spooner Oldham, bassist Rick Rosas, guitarist Kelvin Holly, and drummer Phil Jones. Pegi Young & The Survivors will appear on Late Show With David Letterman on January 30th before they head out on a string of tour dates, including four shows in support of 10,000 Maniacs. The itinerary kicks off February 1 at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, and wraps February 10^th at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA.

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.
