Carl Palmer, among the most renowned drummers in rock history and a
founding member of both ELP and ASIA, is returning to the world stage
for an extensive solo tour that will celebrate the global release of
his new Decade DVD (which chronicles the 2011 tour show) and his new
Rhythm of Light collection of fine art, recently done in conjunction
with Scene 4 Art Studios. “America is the country that really
propelled my career,” said Palmer from his home in London. “I am
always excited to be touring in the US. We have been touring in Europe
most of 2014, so to bring this new show to North America and Canada as
I did in July and will do again in November is very exciting.”
Entitled Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy Rhythm Of Light 2014 Tour, the
famed musician will present a show that includes bold, new
arrangements of the best-loved instrumental music of ELP, and other
composers. A multi-media experience combining music and video
projection, the show promises to be among the most musically
compelling tours of the year. Carl Palmer Legacy is a red-hot power
trio that features Palmer on drums and percussion; guitarist Paul
Bielatowicz and bassist Simon Fitzpatrick. The new shows follow a
successful run of dates in July, where Palmer’s group opened in some
markets for Procol Harum. The tour is named for Palmer’s second
signature collection of Fine Art, The Rhythm Of Light, created
completely from movements captured while he was drumming, released
March, 2014. The collection is a series of signed and numbered prints
of stunning visual images constructed by capturing rhythm. The images
combine motion, color, and lighting into some of the most compelling
fine art visuals ever created. This very limited Twist Of The Wrist
art collection is available at www.CarlPalmerArt.com. The tour
coincides with the global release of Palmer’s Decade DVD features a
performance from the band’s 2011 tour and includes numerous
cinematic images, which were used in the stage show, and the
re-release of his acclaimed 2001 Anthology, Do Ya Wanna Play, Carl? ,
both released in March 2014 on MVD. Also, since his last solo tour,
Palmer has also remained active with ASIA . Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy
will play nearly two hours and drum enthusiasts can expect an evening
of compelling percussive skills, from the man who brought the drum set
to the forefront of rock n roll music. Sponsored by Jackson National
