RINGO STARR ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR AND HIS 10TH ALL STARR BAND, FEATURING COLIN HAY, BILLY SQUIER, HAMISH STUART, EDGAR WINTER AND GARY WRIGHT WITH GREGG BISSONETTE ALSO ON DRUMS2008 continues to be a very busy year for Ringo, fresh off launching his new CD Liverpool 8, he announced that he will be touring the US and Canada this summer. The 10th All Starr-studded ensemble will include returning All Starrs (in alphabetical order): Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, Edgar Winter, and first timer Gary Wright and on drums
Gregg Bissonette.
In its 10th incarnation, the All Starrs will continue to inspire audiences of all ages and backgrounds. No other single stage produces the hits like Ringo's All Starrs, each singularly accomplished in their own right. They are artists who complement Ringo and share his message of peace and love. As Ringo said in a recent interview, "My live shows are a peace-and-love fest. That's my main promotion, really."
Since 1989, Ringo and his All Starr Tours have rocked sold out venues with great musicians who love to play. Each of the All Starrs lend their most popular songs to the set which already boasts Ringo's impressive hit list that includes, "With a Little Help From My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy".
The 31 US and Canadian tour dates, booked by Dave Hart at ICM, will begin June 19 at Fallsview Casino in Niagra Falls, Ontario, with a show at New York's Radio City in the first week on June 24 and wrapping up at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles August 2nd 2008.
