Mickey Hart is enjoying one of his busiest years ever with multiple new releases, collaborations, and up-and-coming tours. Hart will be touring behind the Mickey Hart Band this summer with a lineup that is a dream team of some of the best musicians in the live music scene.
The 18 city tour this summer includes appearances at many of the nations premiere festivals. The outing comes on the heels of the Shout! Factory releases of The Mickey Hart Collection out this spring and the recent Rhythm Devils DVD release from Star City Recordings in early June. The Mickey Hart Band will feature Steve Kimock on guitar, George Porter Jr. on bass, Jen Durkin on vocals, Kyle Hollingsworth on keys, Walfredo Reyes Jr. on drums, and talking drum master Sikiru Adepoju. The tour begins beginning July 2 at the Southgate House in Newport, KY and then jumps to the Rothbury Festival the following day. The band will also make stops at festivals such as Summerfest in Milwaukee on July 5 and wraps up July 24 at 10K Lakes Festival in Minnesota.
The shows will feature the Robert Hunter-penned songs debuted by the Rhythm Devils in 2006 including “Fountains of Wood," “The Center," and Your House," in addition to Grateful Dead staples such as “New Speedway Boogie" and “Fire on The Mountain." Don't miss the opportunity to see these incredible musicians share the stage in what is sure to be one of the best Mickey Hart related tours in memory. The band is offering pre-sale and VIP tickets on the Mickey Hart Website. People who order VIP tickets will get an intimate meet and greet session with Mickey Hart himself!
