Clapton through the years

Eric Clapton has confirmed some new 2013 dates. As previously reported, Slowhand will use these shows to celebrate his 50th year as a professional musician. In addition to his already confirmed shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Clapton will perform throughout Europe in May and June. He has also extended his Royal Albert Hall run by two shows.

The guitarist spent much of 2012 off the road working on a new studio album Playing The Blues. His upcoming solo band will feature Doyle Bramhall II (guitar), Steve Jordan (drums), Chris Stainton (piano and keyboards), Willie Weeks (bass), Paul Carrack (organ and keyboards) and Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar) as well as backing singers Michelle John and Sharon White.
