WISHBONE ASH To Tour The UK
September 29, 2012, 12 years ago
Classic rock legends WISHBONE ASH, one of the most influential guitar bands in the history of rock, kicks off the UK leg of their tour on October 4, 2012.
The tour, which began in Europe early this year, celebrates the release of Elegant Stealth, the group’s latest studio album. According to a press release, Elegant Stealth represents a benchmark in the evolution of Wishbone Ash. Signature twin-lead melodies and a powerhouse rhythm section frame 11 new tracks that reflect a diverse realm of styles and moods.
Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash has more than 20 original studio recordings and several live albums to their credit. On Elegant Stealth, the group coalesces around strong songwriting and serious chops. Founding member Andy Powell handles lead vocals and trades licks with Finland’s guitar wizard Muddy Manninen. Bassist Bob Skeat, a 15-year veteran of the band and in-demand studio musician, sets the pace with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers, having played with PENDRAGON and David Cross of KING CRIMSON.
