Seeing Ringo in Canada Dont Come Easy...

Sorry about that shameless headline, but i figured it was better than a "Ring(o) around the rosey" pun...anyway, exciting news out of the former Beatle's camp as he is getting set to kick off his summer tour, featuring the latest and lucky-13th incarnation of his All Starr Band. The first show on the tour is in Toronto at the Fallsview Casino, his only Canadian stop (start?) on the tour. Joining the mellow melodist are new members Steve Lukather, of Toto, Gregg Rolie (Journey, Santana) and Richard Page (Mr. Mister), who accompany returning All Starrs Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera and Gregg Bissonette.

On a side note, if you've never seen the Live From the Artists Den episode with Ringo and Ben Harper, it's a pretty smokin', entertaining show that showcases both artists' excitement at being able to play together. Check it out.
