How am I supposed to know that with a name like Montana? wink Key words here are September I believe. I should know better than to doubt Jane much less contradict her. She is spot on for the UK and all of Europe.

Re: Tour set

Tour is called "guitar event of the year" ; based on his 4-night 4-band 4-sets tour of London in March where Joe played a series of ground breaking gigs in the UKs capital; his tour will be Joe & his Acoustic band doing 4/5 songs Acoustically before returning to the stage with the full electric band and playing a rock set if his greatest hits along with a few rarities no doubt

Derek Sherinian joins Bonamassa on tour!

Nicknamed by Alice Cooper as “The Caligula of the Keyboards,” Derek Sherinian, former Black Country Communion keyboardist, has joined Joe Bonamassa’s solo band as a full-time member. Sherinian toured South America with Bonamassa in August 2013, and will also join Bonamassa on his upcoming September Europe/US tour. Says Bonamassa – “Derek is a great keyboard player and we’re ecstatic to welcome him as the latest member of the band.”
No stranger to the music world, Sherinian has toured and recorded with Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kiss, and Black Label Society. A former member of Dream Theater (1994–1999), Sherinian founded Planet X and co-founded Black Country Communion. In January 2012, Sherinian toured Europe and Asia with the instrumental supergroup “PSMS” featuring Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan, and Tony MacAlpine.

Re: Tour set

From tour press release

Bonamassa will perform songs from his classic albums including Sloe Gin, Dust Bowl, Black Rock, The Ballad of John Henry, and Driving Towards The Daylight (the latter reached #2 in the UK’s Official Album Chart in 2012). 

The highly anticipated tour will showcase a mix of acoustic and electronic selections performed by Carmine Rojas (bass), Derek Sherinian (keyboards), Tal Bergman (drums) and Joe Bonamassa (guitar, vocals).
