(New York, NY) - World-renowned
guitarist/composer Steve Hackett will soon return to North America with
his band for the "From Acolyte to Wolflight" tour 2015. In
celebration of his latest solo album, WOLFLIGHT and the 40th
anniversary of the release of his first solo album, VOYAGE OF THE ACOLYTE, this
tour will feature a unique blend of Hackett solo material and Genesis
classics, including as-of-yet unperformed Genesis material. The first
half of the show will focus on Hackett's solo material, while the second half
will highlight Genesis songs. Along with such superb pieces as "Ace
Of Wands," "Spectral Mornings" and songs from WOLFLIGHT, Hackett
will conclude his two and a half hour show with Genesis material that was not
part of his recent GENESIS REVISITED and GENESIS EXTENDED tours in 2013 and
2014. Epic songs including "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway," The
Cinema Show," "Can-Utility," "Hairless Heart" and
"The Musical Box" will be performed.
Of the "From Acolyte To Wolflight"
tour, Steve Hackett commented, "The tour in Europe has so
far gone down a storm, with fantastic reactions to both my new and classic
material as well as Genesis numbers not played for many years such as 'Cinema
Show' and 'Lamb Lies Down On Broadway'...I'm so looking forward to bringing
this new show to North America!" Hackett will be joined
on the tour by his incredible band: Roger King (keyboards), Gary O'Toole (drums
and percussion), Rob Townsend (saxophones and flutes), Roine Stolt (bass and
guitars) and Nad Sylvan (vocals). Please see below for tour dates.
Steve Hackett's
latest solo album, WOLFLIGHT (InsideOut Music) explores a new chapter in Hackett's
career. The tracks take the listener through a journey in space and time
looking at the different faces of the endless fight for freedom. Wandering
between parallel universes, Hackett explores contemporary and ancient
cultures, from Greece ("Corycian Fire") to the Far East
("Wolflight"), the United States and Martin Luther King ("Black
Thunder"), and also his very own childhood memories ("The Wheel's
Turning") and the unresolved drama of domestic violence ("Love Song
To A Vampire"). The video for the title track can be seen here.
In 2010, Steve Hackett was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame at The 25th Annual Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony alongside his Genesis bandmates from the
classic line-up: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike
Rutherford. For more than three decades, Steve Hackett has been
known for his innovative tone and extraordinary versatility as a guitarist and
composer. He helped define Genesis' sound as lead guitarist in the
classic line-up and went on to have a highly-successful career as a solo
artist, and also as part of 80s supergroup GTR with Steve Howe.
