Author: Scott ColothanPublished 18th Nov 2019

The critically-lauded guitar maverick will play shows in Bristol, Southampton, Bilston, Nottingham, Gateshead, Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester and London next year in support of his latest studio album ‘The Bookends’. 

Our 48-hour ticket presale starts at Planet Rock Tickets at 10am on Tuesday 19th November ahead of general on sale on Thursday.

The very special guest at seven of the nine tour dates will be Danny Bryant, while Ben Poole will open in Glasgow and Leeds.

Featuring collaborations with B. Slade, Doyle Bramhall II and Beth Hart, Eric Gales’ album ‘The Bookends’ was released via Provogue/Mascot Label Group earlier in 2019.

Gales says of making the album: “As a guitar player it’s been established that I can play a little bit, just a little bites. 

“But for this album he not only wanted to push himself as a musician, but also as a vocalist, to build up his vocal discography. What spearheaded that was the artists that I have on the record.”

Heralded by many guitarists as their favourite guitarist, Eric Gales counts Carlos Santana, Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge), Joe Bonamassa, Tony Rombola (Godsmack) and Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders) as among his fans.
