Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood Announce Tour
Monday, February 16, 2009 15:55The Blind Faith duo of Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood are reuniting again for a 2009 tour. Last year the pair kept their shows limited to New York’s Madison Square Garden, but this time around the pair are hitting the road, starting with a June 10th show in East Rutherford, New Jersey and wrapping up with a June 30th performance at Los Angeles’ storied Hollywood Bowl.
Clapton has been reconnecting with former bandmates recently. He hooked up with Cream a few years back for a successful string of concerts, then reunited with Winwood last year — and next he’ll share the stage with fellow Yardbird Jeff Beck for a pair of concerts in Japan on February 21st and 22nd.
