TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEDNESDAY IN NORFOLK, CT
Jimmy Herring is hittting the road with his current line-up, featuring Herring on guitar, drummer Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jazz is Dead, Shawn Lane), keyboardist Matt Slocum (Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks), and Neal Fountain on bass (Col Bruce Hampton, Alex Machacek). Tour dates are below.
The Jimmy Herring Band will be performing a wide range of material, including compositions from Herring's long- awaited and much-acclaimed 2008 solo debut Lifeboat.
“The music for the upcoming tour will be a mixed bag. Some stuff from the album and some covers I have always wanted to play- Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Frank Zappa among others. Hopefully there will be enough freedom for everyone to relax and have equal creative input. One thing I learned from Bruce Hampton is, the simpler the music, the easier it is to reinterpret it each time you play it."
Herring, who toured this summer with drummer Lenny White (Miles Davis, Return To Forever) will be one of the headliners at the New Universe Music Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 20-21 as well as performing there with The Lenny White Group and paying a tribute to guitar icon John McLaughlin with whom he co-bills the House of Blues concert in Boston on November 16.
