John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The
Moody Blues, embarked on his first ever solo tour of the UK in 2016,
and is delighted to be bringing the show Rams Head On Stage this fall!
Following the release of 10,000 Light Years Ago (his second solo
album) in 2015, John jumped at the opportunity to take his new music
to the stage. The album has received critical acclaim, and his song,
In My Mind, was nominated for Anthem of the Year in the influential
Prog Mag. John captures the heart of classic Moody Blues songs like Im
Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band), Gemini Dream, Ride My Seesaw,
Isnt Life Strange, and the never before played live, Candle of Life,
and also performs tracks from his solo album, 10,000 Light Years Ago,
together with other favourites. Joining John on stage will be his
10,000 Light Years Band, including long time collaborators Alan Hewitt
(keyboards/music director) and Norda Mullen (flute) from the Moody
Blues; Gordon Marshall (drums), formerly Moody Blues; and 20 time
Detroit Music Award nominee guitarist Duffy King (guitar). As a member
of The Moody Blues since 1966, John Lodge has spent much of his life
touring the world, as part of a 'rock n roll band'. His first solo
album was released 40 years ago in 1977, but was never performed live.
When asked what has taken him so long to get his own show on the road,
John was quick to point out, with a smile, that he has been busy with
his "other bandand making wine!During his remarkable career with the
Moody Blues, John Lodge has sold more than 70 million albums and
received many awards from the ASCAP (American Society Of Composers &
Publishers); Lodge has also won a Soundtrack Of The Year Award, been
voted one of the 10 most influential bass players on the planet, and
won an Ivor Novello Award. He is looking forward to now bringing this
solo tour to the U.S. You go into a room with an ideaand then being
able to take it on the road and perform it live, really is a massive
thrill, says John. Cost: 65.00 Categories: Concerts & Tour Dates
