Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell has announced a fall North American tour comprised of intimate, acoustic shows that will kick off October 15 in San Diego, California.

Cornell will play solo concerts under his "Songbook" format, performing tracks from throughout his career, while offering fans their first chance to hear acoustic arrangements of songs from 2012's "King Animal", Soundgarden's first new studio album in over 16 years.

American/Sri Lankan folk artist, Bhi Bhiman, will open for Chris.
