Ringo Starr and His 10th All-Starr Band to Launch North American Tour at Fallsview Casino Resort in June
NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 10, 2008 ) - Fallsview Casino Resort confirmed today that former Beatle and pop-culture icon Ringo Starr will launch the North American tour of his 10th All-Starr Band with a pair of shows at Fallsview in June.
Starr and the other members of the All-Starr Band - including innovative rock, jazz, blues and pop star Edgar Winter, hard-driving rocker Billy Squier, keyboard and synthesizer pioneer Gary Wright, acclaimed Australian singer, songwriter and former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, accomplished guitarist, bassist, vocalist and former Average White Band member Hamish Stuart and legendary drummer Gregg Bissonette - will spend approximately two weeks at Fallsview preparing for the tour prior to their shows on June 19 and 20.
Ringo Starr has announced a whole new run of cities for his forthcoming US tour with his all-new all-Starr band.
25 cities including New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles have been added to the tour.
The all-Starr band this time around included Men At Work's Colin Hay, Edgar Winter, Billy Squier and Gary Wright.
"My live shows are a peace-and-love fest. That's my main promotion, really," Ringo said in a statement.
The "other" promotion is the release of his new album 'Liverpool 8'. It is bound to get a bash in the set-list. However, all of the guests do their hits too, so expect to hear a Men At Work song, Billy Squier's 'The Stroke' and Gary Wright doing 'Dream Weaver'.
The tour kicks off in Niagara Falls on June 19 and goes through until August 2nd at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
He's playing the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville. I'm looking into tix, but not wild about Billy Squier--although Edgar Winter seems interesting as does Gary Wright.
Just did a little research online and they will be coming to my area in July! I am very excited! Can't wait to get paid so I can buy my ticket. Now I just have to wait for Paul to come through, which if the rumor is true should be sometime soon
