Guitarist Joe Perry has revealed his next move in a statement shared on Instagram. This announcement follows Aerosmith’s retirement last year due to Steven Tyler’s vocal issues.
Perry unveiled a summer tour featuring an all-star lineup of renowned musicians. The roster includes familiar faces from Aerosmith and other prominent rock bands.
“Experience The Joe Perry Project LIVE this summer! Featuring Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson of Aerosmith, Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, and Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots,” Perry announced.
The announcement marks Perry’s first major touring project since Aerosmith’s retirement. The supergroup lineup brings together members from three influential rock bands, promising a unique musical experience for fans.
The upcoming tour opens a new chapter in Perry’s extensive musical journey beyond Aerosmith.
American Songwriter revealed the tour’s schedule. The performances will begin on August 13 in Tampa, Florida, and conclude on August 23 in Port Chester, New York.
The Joe Perry Project has remained a vital part of Perry’s musical repertoire since the late 1970s. It has served as his creative outlet outside of Aerosmith. Blabbermouth noted that the project has showcased various accomplished musicians throughout its history. This pattern demonstrates Perry’s dedication to musical exploration and collaboration.
Loudwire highlighted how this tour announcement follows Aerosmith’s recent retirement. The band’s farewell tour concluded one of rock’s most enduring legacies. Steven Tyler’s ongoing vocal health challenges prompted this decision.
The new lineup features an impressive combination of talent. Perry has brought together fellow Aerosmith members Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson, Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes, and Stone Temple Pilots’ rhythm section. This roster shows Perry’s commitment to forging ahead while honoring his rock roots.
