Dream Weaver for Ringo

05/20/2011
.
(Noble) Gary Wright, known by millions for his singles 'Dream Weaver' and 'Love Is Alive', will perform with 'Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band' on an extensive 27-date European tour from June 4-17th. This will mark the third time Wright will tour with Ringo's All Starr Band (following tours in 2008 and 2010).

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Wright's multi-million selling album 'The Dream Weaver'. When the album was originally released in 1976, and the single 'Dream Weaver' became a huge success, Wright toured extensively with Yes, Fleetwood Mac and was special guest on Peter Frampton's 'Frampton Comes Alive!' tour.

Now, with the release of his first album in 20 years, 'Connected', Wright showcases a breath-taking collection of songs that capture the joyous magical transcendence of his all-time classic hits. The single 'Satisfied' includes performances from Ringo Starr (drums), Joe Walsh (lead guitar), and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (rhythm guitar).

Former lead singer of the British progressive blues rock band Spooky Tooth (1967-1974), American born Wright embarked on a solo career in 1975. He was one of the first classic rock musicians to combine synthesizers with rock and funk. Gary's music has inspired generations of musicians including Jay-Z, Eminem, Mya, Salt-N-Pepa, Busta Rhymes, and Anastacia.

The UK leg of Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band's UK tour includes Hampton Court (June 17), Liverpool Empire (June 18), Birmingham Symphony Hall (June 20), Manchester Opera House (June 22), Glasgow Clyde Auditorium (June 23) and Bournemouth BIC (June 24). The All Starr Band features Rick Derringer (guitar), Richard Page (bass), Wally Palmar (guitar, harmonica), Edgar Winter (sax, keyboards), Gary Wright (keyboards) and Gregg Bissonette (drums).
