Yardbirds Schedule U.S. Tour

Thursday June 15, 2006
There's just something about playing guitar with the Yardbirds. The band's alumni list reads like a rock guitar dream team: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and Jeff Beck earned their props with the Yardbirds of the '60s. Their most recent album featured guitar wizardry by the likes of Brian May, Slash, Steve Lukather, Skunk Baxter and Steve Vai.

This summer, The Yardbirds will be touring the U.S. with yet another young British guitarist, Ben King, joining the lineup that includes original band members guitarist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty.

There are 16 North American dates on the Yardbirds' tour schedule for the month of July.

I saw the Yardbirds the last time they toured the US a few years ago, & they were great! If they schedule dates in Southern California, I’m there.
