He is currently on tour in support of his just released solo live album Songbook after having participated in Pearl Jam’s twenty year celebrations and prior to heading out on a full Soundgarden tour in Australia next year. But I knew I wanted to see him perform stripped down in a uniquely small venue. I was not familiar with at least half of those going into the show. Well known for possessing a considerable vocal range, Cornell has featured on at least twelve studio albums (including Temple of the Dog). He had moved into a solo career by the end of the ’90s before fronting Audioslave, a band with former Rage Against the Machine members (ne de la Rocha). Starting out as the frontman of the now reformed, grunge pioneers Soundgarden, Cornell has been in the music scene for almost thirty years. Cornell joked “if you choose the right song and play it at the right speed, hands would come out of the floor.” A former court house, the space hosted judicial proceedings that, in some cases, culminated in an execution.
He gave thanks to his opener, Craig Wedren (formerly frontman for the band Shudder to Think) before he regaled the audience with some history of the venue itself. Chris Cornell entered the small stage at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut to excited applause.
