After a year of absence, the Experience Hendrix Tour is coming back with a bang this 2019. The concert tour brings together musicians from a variety of genres to celebrate the life and music of the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The latest edition is the biggest one to date, with 30 tour dates all through March and April spanning the East Coast, Midwest, and the South.
The upcoming concert will surely have rock and roll fans scrambling to get tickets, because the line-up includes Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine and instrumental rock guitarist Joe Satriani.
Mustaine said in a statement, “Jimi Hendrix. The name that comes to my mind as one of the ‘Premiere American Guitarists of All Time.’ An Innovator, and legendary musician, I am beyond honored to do my part in this tribute to the immortal Jimi Hendrix.” Meanwhile, Satriani commented on how magical the camaraderie among musicians on the show is. “I’m so excited to play some deep Hendrix tracks in a power trio setting with dUg Pinnick and Kenny Aronoff!“
Aside from those mentioned, other artists included are Billy Cox, Hendrix’s former bandmate, blues legend Taj Mahal, The Slide Brothers, and many more.
The Hendrix Experience Spans Decades
Experience Hendrix started out as a single tribute show funded entirely by the Hendrix family. It debuted as the headlining attraction at Seattle’s yearly Bumbershoot Arts and Music Festival in the summer of 1995. Because of the overwhelming response, the show then bloomed into its own annual fan experience.
It was stated in Loudwire’s review of the 2017 tour that Experience Hendrix remains the guitar tour to watch. Over the years the tribute concert has seen a number of famous musicians, including Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, Black Label Society, and blues performer Buddy Guy.
The number of high-profile artists willing to perform at the tour is a testament to Jimi Hendrix’s legacy. His music has had a major impact on the works of many modern musicians. But his influence extends even beyond music. In Android Slots’ library of online games, there’s one title dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. While playing the game, users can enjoy the musician’s music. It’s clear that the company recognizes Jimi Hendrix’s wide fanbase, as many of the other games in the collection are tributes to pop culture.
Experience Hendrix Tour 2019 will follow this November release of the Deluxe Edition box set of Electric Ladyland from Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. and Legacy Recordings in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hendrix’s masterpiece. The set includes the remastered studio album as well as demos and studio outtakes in Hendrix’s career.
Tickets purchased online for particular tour dates will come with a physical copy of Both Sides of the Sky. This is the third volume in the album trilogy intended to showcase Hendrix’s unreleased studio recordings.
