Eric Gales is happy to announce that British singer-songwriter **Ben Poole will be very special guest on the dates at the Leeds Brudenell Social Club (May 30) and the Glasgow Oran Mor (June 1) during his May/June 2020 UK Tour. Ben will release his live album Ben Poole Trio /// Live ’19 on Friday 31st January 2020.
Special guest on all other shows is the critically acclaimed British Blues rock guitarist *Danny Bryant. Danny will support the American blues-rock guitarist on 7 of the 9 dates (except for Leeds and Glasgow). Hailed as “a national blues treasure,” Bryant recently released his 11th studio album ‘Means of Escape’ via Jazzhaus Records.
Eric Gales will embark on 9-date UK tour in May and June 2020. The tour follows the release of his album ‘The Bookends’ via Provogue/Mascot Label Group earlier in 2019. The album features collaborations with B. Slade, Doyle Bramhall II and Beth Hart.
A 48-hour Planet Rock pre-sale via www.planetrocktickets.co.uk and will go on general sale on Thursday 21st November via www.thegigcartel.com.
The challenge for making ‘The Bookends’ was for Gales to challenge himself. “As a guitar player it’s been established that I can play a little bit, just a little bit,” he smiles. But for this album he not only wanted to push himself as a musician, but also as a vocalist, to build up his vocal discography. “What spearheaded that was the artists that I have on the record,” he says.
