  • Legendary Bassist Stu Hamm to Stop in Schenectady

    Fans of guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani will recognize the name, as will any learned bassist. Stu Hamm rose to fame performing with Satriani’s band for a decade, and on June 3, Hamm brings his solo act to the Van Dyck in Schenectady.

    Hamm’s tour is a true solo run in support of his latest album, The Book of Lies. In addition to the Schenectady stop, Hamm’s brief stint also includes shows in New York City and Buffalo.

    stu hamm tour

    Hamm met Steve Vai while both were students at Berklee in Boston; he met Satriani as a result of his relationship with Vai and rose to fame as a member of his band. Hamm played on Vai’s first solo album, Flex-Able, in 1984 and went on to record with Satriani on his seminal ’80s albums Dreaming #11 and Flying in a Blue Dream.

    Throughout his career, Hamm has recorded with such guitar luminaries as Eric Johnson, Michael Schenker, Frank Gambale, Alan Holdsworth and Robert Fripp. Another claim to fame is being named both best rock bassist and jazz bassist in the same year by Guitar Player magazine.

    Expect a mix of bass virtuosity and humorous storytelling when Hamm hits the stage. In a statement, Hamm said, “I promise an entertaining evening of music and stories from my 43 years of playing bass with some of our generation’s greatest musicians!”

  • Ringo Starr to Kick Off Summer Tour in Syracuse

    Ringo Starr announced summer tour dates for his All Starr Band Monday. According to the drummer’s website, the tour begins at Syracuse’s Lakeview Amphitheater June 3.

    Ticket sales have yet to be announced.

    Starr’s Band, in its 12th and longest running incarnation, features Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Steve Lukather, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette. Starr recently told The Boston Globe, “I love this band — we have a lot of fun together onstage and offstage, so here we come again.” Previous tours have produced setlists comprised of songs from each of the members’ primary bands.

    The tour makes several New York stops following the Syracuse kick-off, including Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca and the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester. The tour wraps up at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on July 2.

    Ringo Starr summer Starr, already a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a Beatle, was inducted again last year as the final member of the Beatles to enter as a solo artist. Paul McCartney inducted his friend in a heartfelt speech.

    He will be supporting his 19th solo album released last year, Postcards From Paradise.

    Rundgren gained fame in the early ’70s with his song “Hello It’s Me” and the happy hour classic “Bang the Drum All Day,” but he earned his bones as a producer for many years. Rundgren has had a hand in works by the New York Dolls, Hall & Oates, XTC and The Band, among others.

    Rolie, himself a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member and keyboardist of Santana, also spent time with Journey, where he was the original lead singer.

    Lukather is best known for his work with Toto in the ’70s and ’80s. He has also collaborated with Alice Cooper and Cheap Trick.

    Bissonette gained fame as part of the all-star band David Lee Roth put together for his first solo LP, Eat Em and Smile. While Bissonette held the back beat, acclaimed bassist Billy Sheehan held the low end and Steve Vai displayed his virtuoso guitar skills.

    Page is best known as the lead singer and bassist for Mr. Mister.
