I have finally had time to sit down and write a blog.
I want to say thank you to my band for touring with me for the last 2 years on Emotion & Commotion. What a ride we had.
Jason Rebello, Rhonda Smith and Narada Michael Walden, thank you.
So, I received a Living Legend Award from Classic Rock on 9th November. I was completely blown away by the night and the kind words people said. Honestly I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support from my fans. THANK YOU!
I have some exciting news to announce soon but right now I am going in the studio to start working on a new project.

I know its been a while since I have written but its all been a bit crazy recently.....
After a busy few weeks at home (my time off), I am about to start my European Tour.
I have had a photo shoot with royalty, played at Wintershall Concert with Roger Taylor and also recorded a track on Trombone Shorty's new album, catch up with some friends and go to the odd party.
I managed to find the time to start building a new hot rod which I very excited about and hopefully it will be ready to go on a road trip in September
Looking forward to being back with my band and crew and hitting the road although i have a very busy few weeks ahead.
Hope to see you on the road

My Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour ended on Saturday night in San Francisco at The Fillmore.
What a great way to end this tour. I have a blast doing these shows, but not only that, this was something I wanted to do for Les.
So now I am on my way to Salt Lake City to meet with my band and have a day or rehearsals before starting our tour and I can’t wait! We haven’t played since December and I am looking forward to being back on the road with them............

LA time.

I have just got to LA......... I cant believe how busy i am going to be here with interviews and rehearsals and soundchecks for the MusiCares event on Friday night.
I was really pleased to be asked to perform as they are honouring the fabulous Barbara Streisand and i get to perform one of her iconic songs.
Sunday is the Grammy's........ so i will let you know how i get on next week.
Once I land back I am off the plane and heading straight to The Brits.
Think I will need a holiday after this week.

What a YEAR.

Last week i finished the last leg of my Emotion and Commotion tour in South America and then spent a week in LA enjoying the sunshine and catching up with some friends.
I am not sure how to sum up what has been an incredible year for me.......
A new album, my first in 7 seven years and got a higher chart position than I have ever had before. I performed a Tribute to Les Paul at The Grammys, did a world tour, performed on Idol Gives Back, 2 Tribute shows to my friend Les Paul in New York and to top it all of I have been nominated for 6 Grammy Awards. I am sure i have missed something out......
I want to thank you all for your continued support I wouldnt be where I am now without my fans.
Here is to 2011
Cheers

sunshine in South America.

I'm on tour in South America at the moment and it is hot and sunny. I am being sent pictures of the snow at home and it looks so pretty but I definitely prefer the sun.
PBS aired my 'Tribute to Les Paul' over Thanksgiving weekend. Did you see it? What did you think?

update from the road.

I am writing this on the plane to Stockholm for another show tomorrow night.
It been a long time since I have written a blog, but Harvey has kept me very busy touring!
What was meant to be time off for me this summer wasn’t exactly the most relaxing time and before I knew it I was back on the road at the beginning of October.
We started the tour off in Israel, it was great to be in the sunshine for a few days and I even managed to sit by the pool! We then went on to France where we got to spend some time in the beautiful city of Paris………
When we came back to the UK to do our shows we had the fabulous ‘Trombone Shorty’ and his band support us for a few of the dates……. He is very talented and unique in his style.
I was very lucky when we played at The Royal Albert Hall to have some very special guests and a 22 piece orchestra …… Olivia Safe just blew the crowd away way she came on to perform ‘Elegy for Dunkirk’, she was mesmerising. Imelda May joined me on stage both nights; she is just incredible and breathtaking. Sharon Corr was also there to perform ‘Mna Na Heireann’, wow!!!
After the 2nd Albert Hall show we went back to Europe to finish this leg of the tour.
I am excited to play my final leg of the tour in South America. Go to the Tour section of my website for the dates and cities……..
