And March will be a busy month for Schenker, as he will be issuing his latest album on the 2nd, \u2018Resurrection,\u2019 as well as launching a North American tour in support of it &#8211; kicking off on the 6th at the Fillmore in Silver Springs, MD, and wrapping up on April 3rd at the Ritz in Tampa, FL.<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>And what makes this tour truly unique is that it is being billed as \u201cMichael Schenker Fest,\u201d and will be featuring three classic Michael Schenker Group vocalists (Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet, and Robin McAuley), plus the singer of Michael Schenker\u2019s Temple of Rock (Doogie White). And in addition to Schenker supplying guitar, he will be joined by second guitarist\/keyboardist Steve Mann, bassist Chris Glen, and drummer Ted McKenna. Meet and greet packages are also available for purchase via michaelschenkerfest.com.<\/p>\n<p>First bursting on the scene in the early \u201870s with the Scorpions, the German guitarist and his seemingly always present Flying V were also a crucial reason in UFO becoming one of the world\u2019s top rock bands that same decade (on the strength of such classic recordings as 1977\u2019s Lights Out, 1978\u2019s Obsession, and 1979\u2019s Strangers in the Night), as well as supplying guitar on a Scorpions album that made important inroads into the American market (1979\u2019s Lovedrive). But since 1980, Schenker has been best known for his work with MSG &#8211; including such further classic recordings as 1980\u2019s self-titled debut (featuring Barden), 1982\u2019s Assault Attack (featuring Bonnet), and 1987\u2019s Perfect Timing (featuring McAuley). <\/p>\n<p>And soon, lucky North American fans will get the chance to experience all eras of MSG, on a nearby concert stage!<\/p>\n<p>MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES:<\/p>\n<p>03\/06\/2018\u00a0 The Fillmore &#8211; Silver Springs, MD <br \/>03\/07\/2018\u00a0 Carnegie Music Hall &#8211; Munhall, PA<br \/>03\/09\/2018\u00a0 Berklee Performance Center &#8211; Boston, MA<br \/>03\/10\/2018\u00a0 Irving Plaza &#8211; New York, NY<br \/>03\/11\/2018\u00a0 Theatre of Living Arts &#8211; Philadelphia, PA<br \/>03\/12\/2018\u00a0 Club Soda &#8211; Montreal, QC CANADA<br \/>03\/14\/2018\u00a0 Royal Oak Music Theatre &#8211; Detroit, MI<br \/>03\/16\/2018\u00a0 Agora Theatre &#8211; Cleveland, OH<br \/>03\/17\/2018\u00a0 Concord Music Hall &#8211; Chicago, IL<br \/>03\/18\/2018\u00a0 Pabst Theater &#8211; Milwaukee, WI<br \/>03\/19\/2018\u00a0 Cabooze &#8211; Minneapolis, MN<br \/>03\/22\/2018\u00a0 Neptune &#8211; Theatre Seattle, WA<br \/>03\/24\/2018\u00a0 Events Center &#8211; San Jose, CA<br \/>03\/25\/2018\u00a0 The Grove &#8211; Anaheim, CA<br \/>03\/26\/2018\u00a0 Marquee Theatre &#8211; Tempe, AZ<br \/>03\/27\/2018\u00a0 House of Blues &#8211; Las Vegas, NV<br \/>03\/29\/2018\u00a0 Cervantes Ballroom &#8211; Denver, CO<br \/>03\/31\/2018\u00a0 Vibes Event Center &#8211; San Antonio, TX<br \/>04\/01\/2018\u00a0 Bomb Factory &#8211; Dallas, TX<br \/>04\/03\/2018\u00a0 The Ritz &#8211; Tampa, FL <\/p>\n<p>Source:<br \/>www.michaelschenkerfest.com<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few rock guitarists have proven to be as influential and enduring as the great Michael&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
