Aerosmith Members Stay Busy During Downtime

With Aerosmith's 2007 tour now behind them, band members Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton are taking advantage of the group's break to tackle some solo endeavors.

Perry has lined up a Feb. 8 solo show at Foxwoods Resort & Casino's Fox Theatre, a gig that will also feature TAB the Band. The latter trio's lineup comprises Perry's sons Tony (guitar) and Adrian (bass, vocals), as well as Ben Tileston (drums). Tickets for that event are on sale now via the venue's website.

Meanwhile, Hamilton has announced plans to appear at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston on Jan. 31 to donate to the restaurant and bar his 2003 Harley Davidson Fatboy 100th Anniversary motorcycle, which Harley gave to him after Aerosmith performed at the company's 100th anniversary party. Hamilton will also donate a bass guitar and a stage outfit worn during Aerosmith's 2007 tour. The Hard Rock will commemorate the event by presenting a check for $30,000 to Massachusetts General Hospital and YouthCare, a therapeutic-based program that focuses on helping children develop social skills and other behavioral strategies within a group setting, according to information about the event posted at Aerosmith's website.

"My wife Terry and I have been supporters of YouthCare for a while now," Hamilton said in a prepared statement. "We've wanted to use the bike to raise funds for the program, and we're excited and grateful that Hard Rock is cutting such a fat check!"
