JOE PERRY ANNOUNCES THREE “JOE PERRY AND FRIENDS” SHOWS INCLUDING ONE IN BOSTON
Joe Perry–legendary guitarist, co-founding member, principal songwriter and co-producer of Aerosmith–has just confirmed three shows in support of his recently released Sweetzerland Manifesto solo album. Billed as Joe Perry And Friends, the confirmed shows are April 18th at the House of Blues in Boston, Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton Beach, NH on April 19th and Borgata Music Box in Atlantic City, NJ on April 20th. Joe will be joined by his Aerosmith bandmate Brad Whitford with Gary Cherone of Extreme taking on the lead vocals. The first two gigs will also include sets from special guests Charlie Farren (onetime lead singer of The Joe Perry Project) and former Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau’s Engine Room. Tickets for the shows go on sale Friday, March 16th, please visit joeperry.com for additional details.
Look for Joe and the band to perform various songs from Sweetzerland Manifesto (via his Roman Records imprint, distributed worldwide by AMPED Distribution), along with material from his previous solo works and some Aerosmith hits. The album marks Perry’s sixth solo album and is comprised of 10 new tracks all written or co-written by Joe (many with the album’s guest vocalists), except for a cover of Eve Of Destruction with the guitarist on lead vocals and Johnny Depp on drums. The album features guest appearances from a long list of Perry’s friends, colleagues and rock and roll icons. Highlights include Aye, Aye, Aye, which he co-wrote with the track’s vocalist Robin Zander,and three collaborations with David Johansen, who sings I Wanna Roll, Haberdasher Blues, and I’m Going Crazy, plus as many co-writes with Terry Reid whose lead vocals light up I’ll Do Happiness, (with Zak Starkey on drums), Sick & Tired and Won’t Let Me Go. A few days before the album’s release, Joe and his all-star band crushed it at a two-hour plus set at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

Damn, it’s “Too Bad” Joe Perry And Friends aren’t doing a show (as of now) down here in FL, that would be “Sweet Emotion!” 😉
Hmm, just thinking, maybe I’ll grab my “Angel,” and my buddies, and head up to Atlantic City for that weekend. Oh Yeah, that sounds like a plan, and a party! And then we got the Fort Rock Festival the following weekend! It’s so nice to be on “Permanent Vacation!” 😉
Don’t mind me, “I’m Going Crazy!”
LOL!!! Where’s my “Cheese Cake?”
Cheers! 🙂
I saw the Joe Perry Project at Monmouth college NJ in the early 80’s in a small half empty theater. They rocked hard though.
