Courtesy of Experience Hendrix L.L.C.Plans have been unveiled for the 2019 edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour, celebrating the music and legacy of the late Jimi Hendrix. Next year’s tribute trek kicks off March 3 in Pompano Beach, Florida, and is plotted out through an April 6 concert in Wallingford, Connecticut.
In keeping with tradition, the tour’s lineup will be anchored by former Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys bassist Billy Cox, while the 2019 bill also will feature The Isley Brothers‘ Ernie Isley, Los Lobos‘ David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas, blues great Taj Mahal, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, Dweezil Zappa and, making his debut on the trek, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine.
Satriani, who’s a member of the Sammy Hagar-fronted supergroup Chickenfoot, has formed a power trio especially for the 2019 Experience Hendrix Tour featuring King’s X singer/bassist Dug Pinnick and longtime John Fogerty drummer and renowned session musician Kenny Aronoff.
Other musicians taking part in the trek include drummer Chris Layton of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s band Double Trouble, plus Jonny Lang and Eric Johnson.
Buy a ticket to the tour online and you’ll receive a free CD copy of the 2018 archival Hendrix album, Both Sides of the Sky.
“The tour is more than a series of concerts,” says Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s sister and CEO of the Experience Hendrix company. “It’s a celebration of a man whose amazing gift changed the face of music and informed an entire culture.”
She adds, “His influences were varied and diverse. And this year we’re shining a light on that diversity with artists who represent it across cultures and who also share a love for Jimi and his music.”
