Joe Perry will hit the street in April for a handful of dates with the Joe Perry Project.
The Aerosmith guitarist will kick off the six-date run on April 15 in Mashantucket, Conn., then head to Boston, New York City 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 can see the total checklist of dates beneath.
The 2023 Joe Perry Project lineup will characteristic Extreme’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 Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander and New York Dolls’ David Johansen to sing on his newest solo album, 2018’s Sweetzerland Manifesto.
Perry took the Project on the street for a handful of 2022 dates with Cherone and Johnson in tow, unearthing a couple of Aerosmith deep cuts equivalent to “My Fist Your Face” and “Chip Away the Stone.” “Gary always has a couple of requests for songs that he likes to sing, the Aerosmith stuff that he likes,” he advised UCR final 12 months.
Discussing the uncommon alternative to highlight his solo albums, Perry added, “I never really got a chance to push them, to get out and do proper tours, except for maybe those four years when I was away from Aerosmith. After that, I would just do them, and once in awhile, I’d get to play one of them with the band. I think ‘Shakin’ My Cage,’ we played it with Aerosmith. It’s just fun writing music for the sake of it and then being able to go back with your gang.”
