Lofgren and Frank ‘Poncho’ Sampedro as he discusses in an interview with Guitar World by Andrew Daly.“In January of 2023, Neil called and asked if I’d like to join Crazy Horse,” Nelson tells Guitar World.
“I was born in the Year of the Horse, so of course I said ‘yes!’ After I
agreed, the first thing I thought was, ‘I’m gonna need a new amp.’ I
wasn't sure what Neil wanted – I didn't know if he wanted me to be Nils,
Poncho or Danny.”The answer was simple: Young
advised Nelson to “be true to the music”. Which makes sense, as the
proverbial godfather of grunge has spent well over 50 years doing just
that. “My approach has always been to complement whatever the music
needs,” Nelson says. “But Neil has always challenged me to push myself
beyond the norm in many situations, which became a big thing.”One
look at Willie Nelson’s battered Martin N-20 acoustic, Trigger,
explains all you need to know about the rustic wisdom the elder musician
has imparted to his children. Asked how he’s injected that soothsaying
into his career, Micah says: “I’m sure I could write a song that sounds
like Willie Nelson or Neil Young.“I could
deliberately be like, ‘I’m gonna rip off Neil Young right now,’ just
like he ripped off Bob Dylan, and like my dad ripped off Django. I could
do that all day, and there’s nothing wrong with that.’”But
he doesn’t believe that’s what would be going on. “We’re just borrowing
timeless things and being passed down,” he argues. “So I’ll keep
digging into similar patterns, and I’ll keep exploring myself. That's
just part of being fractal. It’s all a part of me. My roots and lineage
will remain, but where I take that remains to be seen.”Full Micah Nelson interview with Guitar World by Andrew Daly. Also, more on Micah Nelson and Neil Young. [Image]Micah Nelson Austin Lifestyle - Feb 2023(see Micah Nelson "Teases" as New Crazy Horse Band Member w/ Neil Young)

Thanks Tomatron.
With the Toronto reference, maybe Ragged Glory is on the short list? Or the Polar Vortex suggest Solo is the config? East Coastal tour maybe?
Maybe a solo set and a Crazy Horse set like the days of old???
