Steve Miller Band Tours for Bingo!
The Steve Miller Band is currently touring in support of a new record, Bingo!, due out June 15th. The band will tour through the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Six Canadian stops are scheduled along the tour, as well as two dates in the U.K.
In a video released on the band’s website, Steve Miller talks about the making of Bingo!. He reminisces about experiences on stage with established musicians like Otis Redding during his early days in the Chicago music scene. The Chicago blues scene had a major impact on Miller as a musician, and in Bingo!, he has recreated his own versions of his favorite blues classics.
Bingo! is the first release from the group since Wide River in 1993. In Miller’s own words, “It’s a record to get out and dance and have a good time.”
