Legendary guitarist Robin Trower has just announced his first North American Tour in
five years which includes a stop at the historic Kalamazoo State Theatre on Tuesday,
September 24. Tickets go on sale this Friday (4/19) at 10:00 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com.
The 50 th Anniversary version (re-mixed & mastered) of Bridge of Sighs will be
released in May ’24.
In the 5 decades that followed this million selling album, Robin Trower’s career has
been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist’s backstory and
you’ll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least
resistance. A literal lifetime since he first stepped onto the British blues circuit as a cub
gunslinger, that fabled Trower power shows no sign of burning out. In fact, the iconic
guitarist’s late-period acceleration is something to behold, sweeping up new fans
alongside, hardcore supporters who have followed his every move. During this time,
he’s flowed from his own projects to collaborations with everyone from Jack Bruce to
Brian Ferry to Maxi Priest releasing well over 30 albums.
Fast-forward to 2023 and Trower’s new studio album, Joyful Sky, with New York blues
singer SARI SCHORR wonderfully demonstrates his latest flash of artistic
instinct. Always receptive to singers who can elevate his emotive guitar touch, Robin heard a quality in the smoky powerful voice of the acclaimed New Yorker Sari Schorr
that made him want to tear down and rebuild his songcraft around her.
Following his departure from 1960’s baroque rockers Procol Harum, the exceptionally
gifted guitarist Robin Trower set out to forge a solo career assembling a new band
bringing in James Dewar on vocal and bass duty, and Reg Isidore on drums. The new
power trio set the tone for Robin’s 1973 debut solo LP Twice Removed From Yesterday,
but it was the follow up, 1974’s Bridge of Sighs that would catapult Trower into
international guitar hero status.
