Steve
Hackett has announced the addition of multi
talented guitarist,
Roine
Stolt to his tour line up. Stolt, known as
leading light of the 'Flower Kings' and for his association with
Transatlantic, will play bass and 12 string, occasionally also joining
Steve on guitar.
The legendary ex-Genesis
guitarist,
Steve commented:- "I'm really
pleased that Roine Stolt will be joining the band for the autumn shows on bass,
twelve string and for some songs doubling on electric guitar with me. Roine is a
truly impressive and versatile player and I particularly like his work with
other bands and artists. I have enjoyed playing with him live on more than one
occasion and I'm thrilled he's going to join the team. It's marvellous to have
both Swedish talents Roine Stolt and Nad Sylvan as part of the band for these
Hackett solo/Genesis Revisited shows."
Hackett, who releases new album:- 'Wolflight', on 30 March 2015,
will bring his:- 'Acolyte To Wolflight', with 'Genesis
Revisited Tour' to the UK in October 2015 with 19 shows. Each
performance will feature 2 sets, 1 of solo material and 1 of 'Genesis
Revisited.' The 1st will cover a vast part of Steve's discography, with
a selection of solo material from early albums including:- 'Voyage of the
Acolyte' and 'Please Don't Touch' right up to 'Wolflight';
the 2nd set will see Nad Sylvan take care of the vocals on the Genesis material.
