After a number of tributes to the music of Prince and David Bowie at such festivals as Catskill Chill, Wanee and Adirondack Independence Music Festival, the Prince/Bowie concept has turned into a band. The group led by Pink Talking Fish bassist Eric Gould announced lineups for a series of spring tour dates.
Gould will be joined for each upcoming Prince/Bowie concert by his PTF bandmate guitarist Cal Kehoe as well as The Horn Section (Josh Schwartz, Greg Sanderson and Chris Brouwers formerly of Turkuaz). Up first for the ensemble is a performance at Denver’s So Many Roads Brewery and Museum on March 13. The lineup in Denver will be rounded out by Lotus’ Chuck Morris on percussion and Pink Talking Fish drummer Zack Burwick and keyboardist Richard James.
Prince/Bowie then will play Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs, New York with James on keys, Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu/The Breakfast) on drums and saxophonist Matt Wayne (Bobby Deitch Band) joining Gould, Kehoe and The Horn Section. Finally, Prince/Bowie tributes will be held in Norwalk, Connecticut on April 29 and Beverly, Massachusetts on April 30 featuring Eric Gould, Cal Kehoe, The Horn Section, Matt Wayne, drummer Mikey Carubba (formerly of Turkuaz) and keyboardist Alric “AC” Carter (TAUK).
