Steve Miller Band take on summertime trek
Steve Miller Band has announced an extensive summer run in anticipation of its forthcoming but still unnamed new album.
The North American outing begins with a May 1 stop in Memphis, TN, before crisscrossing the nation, hitting amphitheaters and fairgrounds in 30 cities by early October. A handful of Canadian performances are also on the itinerary. Details are listed below.
Along with classics from the band's impressive repertoire, shows will also include new material from the upcoming album, which is expected to hit shelves sometime this year. Recorded last spring at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, the still-untitled effort will contain blues and R&B songs selected from the more than three dozen the band recorded in the studio.
The classic rockers made it big in the 1970s with the No. 1 songs "The Joker" and "Rock'n Me," along with fellow fan favorites "Take the Money and Run," "Fly Like an Eagle" and "Jet Airliner." Their last No. 1 hit came in 1982 with "Abracadabra."
