ALL STAR EXPERIENCE HENDRIX TOUR
BRINGS JIMI’S MUSIC TO THE CONCERT STAGE AGAIN
Featuring artists who will be performing music written by and associated with Jimi Hendrix include blues
giant Buddy Guy, pedal steel innovator Robert Randolph, contemporary guitar greats Jonny Lang and
Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Special guests include Robby Krieger, guitarist of the Doors, Rolling Stones
veteran guitarist Mick Taylor and Hubert Sumlin, the Mississippi-born guitarist who worked with both Howlin’
Wolf and Muddy Waters. Most remarkably, Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass), the same Jimi
Hendrix Experience rhythm section that played behind Hendrix at Woodstock is the will be on hand for the
Experience Hendrix tour dates as will Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, aka Double Trouble, the late
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s highly regarded rhythm section. Native American band Indigenous and Eric
Gales, the Memphis guitarist who is heard on the Power of Soul Jimi Hendrix tribute album, are also part of
the Experience Hendrix Tour. Various combinations of these artists perform such Hendrix signature songs
as “Purple Haze,” “Hey Joe,” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” and are sure to make the concerts very
special events for both new and veteran Hendrix fans.
The new Experience Hendrix tour is an exciting prospect for Billy Cox whose history with Jimi Hendrix dates
back to their days in the Army together. He commented, “It’s a thrill for me to play Jimi’s music for
audiences now as it was in the early 1960s. The Experience Hendrix tour shows you how timeless this
music really is.”
Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix noted, “Everyday, we see how Jimi’s musical legacy continues to
transcend generational and cultural boundaries. This tour is our way to give live audiences a concert
experience that reflects the genius of his unifying spirit.”
The first Experience Hendrix Tour featured Guy, Shepherd, Sumlin, Carlos Santana,
Joe Satriani, Paul Rodgers, as well as Mitchell and Cox played sold out concert dates in San Francisco,
Portland and Seattle in February of 2004, garnering rave reviews at the time and it is expected that, in the
future, Experience Hendrix will make its way to other markets.
