Joe Perry Challenge Publicizes 2023 Tour Dates

Joe Perry will hit the street in April for a handful of dates with the Joe Perry Challenge.

The Aerosmith guitarist will kick off the six-date run on April 15 in Mashantucket, Conn., then head to Boston, New York Metropolis and two Chicago suburbs (Des Plaines and St. Charles) earlier than ending the street journey on April 26 in Los Angeles.

Tickets go on sale on Friday. You’ll be able to see the complete listing of dates under.

The 2023 Joe Perry Challenge lineup will characteristic Excessive’s Gary Cherone on lead vocals, Aerosmith backing singer Buck Johnson on keyboards and vocals, veteran drummer Jason Sutter (Cher, Chris Cornell) and longtime Perry affiliate David Hull on bass. The guitarist beforehand recruited Low cost Trick’s Robin Zander and New York Dolls’ David Johansen to sing on his newest solo album, 2018’s Sweetzerland Manifesto.

Perry took the Challenge on the street for a handful of 2022 dates with Cherone and Johnson in tow, unearthing just a few Aerosmith deep cuts akin to “My Fist Your Face” and “Chip Away the Stone.” “Gary at all times has a few requests for songs that he likes to sing, the Aerosmith stuff that he likes,” he instructed UCR final 12 months.

Discussing the uncommon alternative to highlight his solo albums, Perry added, “I by no means actually received an opportunity to push them, to get out and do correct excursions, apart from perhaps these 4 years after I was away from Aerosmith. After that, I’d simply do them, and as soon as in awhile, I might get to play one among them with the band. I believe ‘Shakin’ My Cage,’ we performed it with Aerosmith. It is simply enjoyable writing music for the sake of it after which with the ability to return along with your gang.”
