May 5, 2016, 8 years ago
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame member Steven Tyler’s intimate concert performance, Steven Tyler…Out On A Limb, was held at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall on May 2nd. Award winning director Brett Ratner and Tyler collaboratied on the unique experience to benefit Janie's Fund, Tyler's charitable initiative to help girls overcome the trauma of abuse and neglect.
Check out fan-filmed video below:
Named after his hit song "Janie's Got A Gun," Janie's Fund is a collaboration between Tyler and leading non-profit organization Youth Villages established to help girls overcome the trauma of abuse and neglect. Launched in November 2015, Janie's Fund offered a historic 54 days of impact coinciding with the 26th anniversary of the release of the song. For more information, please visit this location.
Tyler will launch his Out On A Limb summer tour on July 2nd in Las Vegas, NV. A year after launching a solo country career, the Aerosmith frontman is hitting the road this summer with a new band (the Nashville-based Loving Mary) and a different approach to playing live. On his 19-city Out On A Limb tour, the rock icon is trading arenas for more intimate concert venues, where he'll rework Aerosmith classics and tell stories behind some of the band's most beloved hits.
The idea stems from an acoustic performance he did last fall as part of PBS' Front And Center series, with an emphasis squarely on the fans.
"What would I not pay to go see (Paul) McCartney, but instead of playing with whoever he's with now, actually do (a show) where he tells you what he was thinking when he wrote Yesterday?" says Tyler, 68. "That's what I'm doing. I figured I'd talk about Sweet Emotion and Dream On and where I was when I wrote it, and Seasons of Wither and how I played it."
