Jeff Beck assembles US jaunt

Fresh off tours of Australia, New Zealand and Japan, guitar hero Jeff Beck is resting up for a US road trip this spring.

The coast-to-coast outing is set to start right after Beck's April 4 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. The legendary musician is already a member with The Yardbirds.

His current tour itinerary covers 10 cities, starting with an April 6 engagement in Scranton, PA, and wrapping April 23 in Oakland, CA. Highlights include two-night stands in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Details are included below.

Beck is supporting his recent live release, "Performing This Week Live at Ronnie Scott's," which captures a series of 2007 concerts at Ronnie Scott's club in London. The set features classic tracks from the musician's four-decade career, including "Beck's Bolero," "Led Boots," "Scatterbrain," "Where Were You," "Angels (Footsteps)" and "Cause We've Ended As Lovers," as well as his version of "A Day In The Life." A DVD of the performances, the first ever authorized by Beck, also surfaced in December.

The Grammy winner's most recent studio effort is 2003's "Jeff," which cracked The Billboard 200. That album, his 14th, reflects the pioneering guitarist's fascination with electronic music.

Beck's long career dates back to the mid-'60s, when he replaced Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds and then went on to form the Jeff Beck Group, featuring Rod Stewart and future Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood. Various incarnations of that band followed, as did other solo projects and collaborations.
