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 begins on August 13th and wraps on August 23rd (see the itinerary below). For the North American trek—which marks the first solo shows for Perry 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 line up this year! Most of these guys played with me at The Roxy in L.A. at the debut event for 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 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, the Hollywood Vampires, and is also a solo artist in his own right.”
For the shows, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee says “the set list is gonna include my fav JPP cuts, STP, Black Crowes, and with Brad we’ll be hitting the Aero hits and some deep cuts and then ya never know!!!! Gonna be a BLAST, and if you’ve ever been to one of my shows you know the words Garage Band on steroids come to mind! See you there!”

Looks like a great band and of course they are nowhere near me … the Midwest is the mecca for hard rock especially Michigan Ohio Illinois ~
His show about a year ago at Webster Hall in NYC w/ Gary Cherone of Extreme was pretty damn kick ass. Guess I’m driving up to Port Chester. He does pick some strange spots but Long Live Joe!
