Jeff Beck will head the line-up of a very special Les Paul celebration in New York next week.
Jeff Beck and the Imelda May Band have already been confirmed to play at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York at A Celebration Of Les Paul, sponsored by Gibson Guitar. They are expected to be joined by Ace Frehley, Zakk Wylde, Johnny Winters, John Mcenroe, Meat Loaf, Chris North, Steve Miller, Robbie Robertson, Nils Lofgren, Warren Haynes, Paul Shaffer, Nigel Lythgoe, Johnny A, Stephen Colbert, Gibson Guitar Chairman/CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, John Varvatos and more.
Beck will pay tribute to his mentor and friend, the late guitar great Les Paul, with an intimate show consisting of Les Paul's memorable classics along with some rockabilly favourites. Celebrating what would have been Les Paul's 95th birthday, Beck will be joined on stage by Irish rockabilly sensation The Imelda May Band.
Les Paul remained a fixture in the New York music scene, drawing in crowds with regular gigs at The Iridium Jazz Club until the age of 94.
