US tour dates announced The first leg of the U.S. tour will begin on April 16th in San Francisco and wrap up at the world famous New Orleans Jazz Festival on May 1st, with more dates for the second U.S. leg to be announced soon.
Just prior to the start of his world tour, Beck will unite with fellow Hall of Fame guitarist, Eric Clapton, in February for a series of exclusive shows in London, New York City, Toronto, and Montreal. The guitarists - both former members of the Yardbirds - will each play separately before taking the stage to perform together.
Accompanying Beck at these special engagements, as well as the World Tour, will be a brand new touring band, including the Grammy award winning producer and songwriter, Narada Michael Walden on drums, Rhonda Smith on bass and Jason Rebello on keyboards. Narada Michael Smith has collaborated with Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Tom Jones. Narada was also featured on and composed four tracks for Beck’s classic 1976 album Wired. The compelling Rhonda Smith has played bass for Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Prince, while keyboardist Jason Rebello has performed previously with Beck, as well as Sting and Chaka Khan.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Narada Michael Walden, he’s an inspiration to me,” Beck said. “When we last worked together we won a Grammy. I’ve been lucky enough to have been working with Jason since 2006 and Rhonda came highly recommended by Narada; I was blown away when I heard her play.”
For Beck, the new album and tour follow in the wake of a triumphant 2009 - his most successful year ever. Among the many highlights were a sold-out world tour; his second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the release of the platinum-selling Performing This Week… Live At Ronnie Scott’s, which earned a Grammy nomination for his breath-taking live performance of “A Day In The Life”; and magnificent performances with his band at the 25th Anniversary Concert of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden.
