Bowie regulars to pay tribute

LEGENDARY Bowie touring and recording keyboardist Mike Garson, who collaborated with the artist for longer than any other player, is heading up a new tribute band.

Along with previous Bowie band leaders, guitarist/vocalist Adrian Belew (Sound & Vision Tour) and guitarist Gerry Leonard (A Reality Tour) they have over 30 years’ experience of recording, writing and playing live with Bowie. 

Joining Mike, Adrian and Gerry will be Bowie’s Let’s Dance/Serious Moonlight Tour bassist Carmine Rojas.

More than just a mere salute, ‘Celebrating David Bowie’ keeps David’s music alive with musicians who worked closely with him throughout his career and other top musicians who were greatly influenced by him. 

Angelo Moore and 2017 Grammy-nominee Gaby Moreno, as well as special guests and other former Bowie band members, will make surprise appearances  when they play here, in the Olympia Theatre on January 15

CdB creator and producer Angelo Bundini (aka guitarist Scrote) is also back and excited about the concept for the new show.

“After the last tour, I didn’t really imagine playing more shows because it was insanely difficult to pull off,” Angelo said.

“David’s last tour was in 2004, so I began to wonder what he might do if he were to tour again today. That’s what we’re presenting in 2018.” 

The large rotating ensemble will perform a show highlighting elements that influenced Bowie and that, in turn, Bowie influenced.
