Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood Concert Tickets |
Can your ears handle the intensity? If you're up to the challenge then you might want to check out an Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood concert- a match made in blue-eyed blues heaven. Eric Clapton, a self-proclaimed "nasty kid," was born in Surrey, England and was given his first guitar at age 13- an acoustic Spanish Hoya. Learning the instrument was quite difficult for a young Clapton- well those days are over. This blues-rocker, nicknamed slow hands, has three Grammy Awards to his name, is a 3x Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has been named CBE (commander of the British empire) and obtained a Silver Cleg Award for outstanding contribution to British music. People possessing Eric Clapton tickets through the years have seen the various incarnations of Slow Hands- the Yardbirds, Derek and the Domino's, Traffic, The Roosters and the Bluesbreakers- which would earn him the griffiti tag "Clapton is God" all throughout London. Eric Clapton concerts have seen collaborations with George Harrison, Phil Collins, Frank Zappa, BB King, Buddy Guy, Roger Waters and a slew of other legendary musicians. Eric Clapton has released nearly twenty studio albums in his solo career alone, which makes Eric Clapton tickets that much more coveted. Heralding comparisons to a "mod Ray Charles" according to Rolling Stone, Steve Winwood is the definition of blue-eyed soul. Born in Birmingham, England Winwood was, surprisingly, interested in Swing music at first. Before the age of 15, Winwood had switched gears and collaborated with the likes of BB King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and before the age of 20, Winwood would co-write the classic "Gimmie Some Lovin'." Like Clapton, Winwood would go on to perform with big names like Toots & the Maytals, Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix - and his solo career was just as rich. After the breakup of Traffic, a band which both Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood were part of, Winwood found sucess in the release of nine studio albums, one including the hit single "Higher Love." At a time when Steve Winwood tickets seemed to be hotter than the sun, another surprise annoucement came about. The two are reunited, thats right- the Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood tour 2009 is real. And with soul this intense, you may just see a vision or two when you grab yourself some Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood tickets. To put it another way- if you hold your Traffic CD in a glass case, you'll value your Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood concert tickets just as much- so get em while they last! |
