AEROSMITH guitarist and songwriter JOE PERRY is set to return to the road for a series of August performances with THE JOE PERRY PROJECT. The eight‑date run kicks off August 13 in Tampa, FL, and wraps August 23 in Port Chester, NY, with an August 19 performance in PERRY’s Boston hometown (see itinerary below). For the North American trek—which marks PERRY’s first solo shows this year—the legendary guitarist will be joined by his Aerosmith bandmates Brad Whitford (guitar) and Buck Johnson (keys), along with The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson (vocals) and Stone Temple Pilots’ Robert DeLeo (bass) and Eric Kretz (drums).
“Well… it’s time to let the music do the talkin’ again,” PERRY says. “I’m really excited about the JPP lineup this year! Most of these guys played with me at The Roxy in L.A. for the debut event of my latest solo album [Sweetzerland Manifesto] in January 2018. They’re all busy as hell, but thankfully they’re able to carve out some time for this run. And I’m not only lucky enough to have Brad Whitford onstage with me, but also Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes [who sang ‘Fortunate One’ on Sweetzerland Manifesto MKII], Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz from STP, and Buck Johnson, who plays keys and sings with Aerosmith and the Hollywood Vampires—and is also a solo artist in his own right.”
For the shows, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee says, “The set list is gonna include my favorite JPP cuts, STP, Black Crowes, and—with Brad—we’ll be hitting the Aero hits and some deep cuts. And you never know! Gonna be a blast. If you’ve ever been to one of my shows, the words ‘garage band on steroids’ come to mind! See you there!”
