A NEW BAND AND A NEW SOUND FOR UPCOMING TOUR;
TWO NEW RELEASES IN SEPTEMBER 2012

Victor Wooten |
Five-time Grammy-winning musician Victor Wooten will kick off his summer tour at the Summer Camp Festival in late May backed by an amazing ensemble of musicians as he gears up for the release of two new CDs on VIX Records in September of 2012.
Words & Tones comprises 13 songs (11 new original tracks and 2 cover songs) which all feature a female vocalist. Vocalists include longtime friends Saundra Williams (Sharon jones and the Dap Kings) and Divinty Roxx (Beyonce), as well as Wooten’s brothers and kids. New collaborations include a smooth vocal performance from Meshell Ndegeocello, a beautiful duet featuring Joey Kibble (Take 6), and fiery percussion from “Pedrito” Martinez.
Sword & Stone is the instrumental rendition of the recordings. To make things more interesting, Wooten has added new arrangements, solos, instruments, and musicians to this CD. Each CD features a few songs not found on the other.
On this tour, Krystal Peterson, a young singing sensation from Cincinnati, will make her first appearance with the Victor Wooten band. Also joining Wooten are long time cohorts J.D. Blair, Derico Watson, Anthony Wellington, Steve Bailey, and Dave Welsch. These touring musicians also join Wooten on the new CDs. Peterson sings two songs on Words and Tones.
Each musician will multitask (actually switching instruments mid-song) resulting in a part choreographed and part improvised display of musicianship and showmanship at its best. Instruments include: bass, acoustic bass, drums, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, cello, percussion, vocals, and more.

NEW RAMBLES FEATURING CHRIS ROBINSON, TIM & NICKI BLUHM,
JOHN SKEHAN, ADAM MACDOUGALL AND MORE

Phil Lesh |
Phil Lesh has added more shows at his Terrapin Crossroads venue in San Rafael, California. The first series of Rambles will take place on May 10-13 and the lineup playing with Phil includes Chris Robinson, Tim & Nicki Bluhm, John Skehan (Railroad Earth) Adam MacDougall (Chris Robinson Brotherhood), Grahame Lesh, and Jaz Sawyer. Click here to get tickets for those dates.
The next set of Rambles goes down on May 17-19 and Phil’s band for this go-round will be Chris Robinson, Jeff Chimenti, Tim Bluhm, Jon Graboff, Grahame Lesh, and Jaz Sawyer. Tickets go on-sale Thursday at 3:00 PST at the Terrapin Crossroads box office and online here.
As previously announced, the Quintet (or simply the Q to many) will be playing together for four nights of music at Terrapin Crossroads starting tonight, April 26 through April 29. This marks the first time since 2003 that Phil, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, John Molo and Rob Barraco have performed together, bringing fans the sounds that largely defined Phil & Friends in the early 2000s.
