JOE ROBINSON ADDS CROSSROADS GUITAR FESTIVAL, EUROPE & CHINA TO 2019 UNDERTONES TOUR SCHEDULE
NASHVILLE – September 18, 2019 - Considered to be uniquely gifted as a virtuoso guitarist and singer/songwriter, Nashville-based Joe Robinson is taking his show around the world. A tireless touring performer already, Robinson will be adding Europe and China to his tour stops before the end of 2019. He is promoting his latest album Undertones . A full list of tour dates is listed below.
Robinson kicks off his latest run with performances at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival this weekend in Dallas, TX. Robinson will be performing September 20 at the Crossroads Village Stage alongside guitarists Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, Paul Reed Smith, Boscoe France, Bryan Ewald, Ryan McGarvey and Peterson Brothers . “EC has long been a hero of mine, and his music is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar,” Robinson states. “So, it’s a huge honor to be at the Crossroads festival this year! What an amazing lineup of talent to support a great cause.” Clapton’s festival benefits the Crossroads Centre Antigua , an addiction treatment center he founded in 1998.
Robinson will then head overseas for his ambitious 17-consecutive day ambitious European tour beginning in Prague on October 17, with stops in the Czech Republic, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Sweden . “Europe has been a great market for me in the past with wonderful promoters, audiences and venues,” Robinson adds. “I have been so busy in the U.S. over the last couple of years, that I haven’t been able to tour there as much as I would like. So it is a great feeling to be coming back.”
Robinson will barely have time to shake off the jet lag as he will re-join the Rodney Crowell tour from November 6 – November 23 for dates along the U.S. west coast.
To round out the remainder of 2019 Robinson will bring his tour into China . Dates and venues for seven shows will be announced soon. “The first time I toured China was in 2013, and I was totally blown away by the response – amazing crowds filled with people so energized about music. I can’t wait to see how the landscape there has changed over the past 5 years.”
There will be no time to rest however. Robinson launches into 2020 with appearances at NAMM in Anaheim, CA January 16 and 17, and the Cayamo Cruise (with Rodney Crowell) from February 3-10. Following that he will join Tommy Emmanuel for his just-announced tour hitting Canada in March and April.
On his seminal new album Undertones , the Australian native continues to awe and delight with soulful and utterly brilliant, finely crafted songs on both acoustic and electric guitar, and has come into his own as a lyricist.
In June of this year, Robinson launched JOES12 , a unique online learning platform that includes a distillation of some incredible musical information, carefully curated to make musicians better no matter their skill level. JOES12 is a 12-week course featuring over 20 hours of footage and training that Robinson personally created. It includes interviews filled with incredible insights from some of the world's best musicians, including Tommy Emmanuel, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Rodney Crowell, John Jorgenson, Keb' Mo' and others.
