RINGO & ALL STARR BAND TOUR 2013

After touring across North America with the latest edition of his All Starr Band this summer, Ringo Starr will bring the same lineup of musicians overseas next year for a series of shows in Japan, New Zealand and Australia.  So far, eleven concerts have been confirmed, mapped out from a February 7 performance in Christchurch, New Zealand, through a March 1 stop in Osaka, Japan.

All Starr Band includes Todd Rundgren, ex-Santana/Journey singer/keyboardist Gregg Rolie, Toto guitaristSteve Lukather and Mr. Mister's Richard Page.  Among the tunes fans can expect to hear are solo Starr hits like "It Don't Come Easy" and "Photograph"  and Beatles classics such as "Little Help from My Friends" and "Yellow Submarine," as well renditions of Rundgren's "Hello It's Me," Santana's "Black Magic Woman" and Toto's "Rosanna."

"The tour this summer was just GREAT -- I love playing with this band and I can't wait to get back out and play with them again," says Ringo in a statement.  "I am looking forward to revisiting Japan with the All Starrs and of course New Zealand and Australia.  Peace & Love!"
