Black Star Riders' Ricky Warwick and Damon Johnson announce acoustic UK tour
Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy band mates Ricky Warwick and Damon Johnson will embark on a special acoustic tour this autumn.
The Sonic Acoustic Attack Tour will see the pair perform a series of intimate acoustic and spoken word shows across the UK in late September and early October.
With over two hours of performance, the evenings will boast career-spanning classics from the acts they have respectively performed with over the decades including Thin Lizzy, The Almighty, Black Star Riders, Alice Cooper and Brother Cane.
Alongside the music there will also be anecdotes and stories taken from the Warwick and Johnson’s life on the road over the past 30 years.
Ricky Warwick enthuses: “Two hours plus of acoustic carnage and mayhem with brother Johnson? Who’d have thought bits of wood with wires could be so sonically invigorating??? ... Well you’re about to find out!!!”
Damon Johnson adds: “Ricky has inspired my musical efforts in so many ways and we have become best mates. These Warwick Johnson performances always showcase our respect for each other and our love of music. And it’s a great night out!”
Tickets to select dates on the tour are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
The acoustic tour dates follow Black Star Riders’ headline appearance at Steelhouse Festival on Sunday 29th July and precede their bill-topping slot at Planet Rockstock on Saturday 1st December.
