Due to the overwhelming response from area fans to the news of his March 8th Gibson Amphitheatre concert, Eric Clapton has announced a second Los Angeles performance: March 9th at Gibson Amphitheatre. Tickets for the second show will go on sale next Monday – December 13th – at 10 AM.
These dates follow the release of Eric Clapton’s recent new album, titled Clapton. Critics have been raving about his latest full-length as a new and inspiring body of work by one of the world’s most legendary guitar players. Co-produced by guitarist and long-time collaborator Doyle Bramhall II, the album features an all star cast of musical collaborations starting with the legendary JJ Cale, drummer Jim Keltner, bassist Willie Weeks and keyboardist Walt Richmond—and the sessions later added guests including Steve Winwood, Wynton Marsalis, Sheryl Crow, Allen Toussaint and Derek Trucks. Clapton created a collection that touches on everything from century-old traditional brass bands to little-known country blues to brand-new originals. The result is both relaxed and revelatory, and unlike anything the guitarist has done in his legendary career.
Clapton has assembled an impressive band for the 2011 tour which will consist of long-time touring partners: Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass), Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with Michelle John and Sharon White as backing vocalists.
