Buddy Guy, Zakk Wylde to Helm 2016 Experience Hendrix Tour

Buddy Guy, Zakk Wylde to Helm 2016 Experience Hendrix Tour:

Buddy Guy, Zakk Wylde, and Band of Gypsys and Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Billy Cox will anchor the 2016 Experience Hendrix tour, a 27-date U.S. trek featuring a variety of all-star musicians paying tribute to the late, great guitarist.

For Guy, it's the blues legend's sixth Experience Hendrix outing, while other returning players include Dweezil Zappa, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and vocalist — and Hendrix's first cousin — Henri Brown. The rest of the primary cast consists of guitarist Eric Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, Indigenous guitarist and singer Mato Nanji, and Noah Hunt, singer for the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band.

Special guests set to appear on select dates currently include blues musician Keb' Mo', singer and guitarist Doyle Bramhall II (Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, Arc Angels), acclaimed Memphis-via-Serbia guitarist Ana Popovic and steel guitar legends, the Slide Brothers. The specific concerts these musicians will play are available on their respective artist pages on the Experience Hendrix website. More guests will be announced in the coming weeks.

The 2016 Experience Hendrix tour will hit the East Coast, South and Midwest, starting February 24th at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, and wrapping up March 25th at the Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. Ticket prices vary between venues, as do on-sale dates; all information is available on the tour's website.
