Steven Tyler has confirmed a new string of solo tour dates in support of his country music release Out on a Limb.

The tour is set to kick off on July 2 at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas and run through September 13 when he'll wrap at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.

He spoke with USA Today on the tour: "What would I not pay to go see Paul McCartney, but instead of playing with whoever he's with now, actually do a show where he tells you what he was thinking when he wrote 'Yesterday'?"

Tyler adds, "That's what I'm doing. I figured I'd talk about 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Dream On' and where I was when I wrote it, and 'Seasons of Wither' and how I played it."
