Nils is back for more

Former Springstee­n man returns with show after high demand

-

FOLLOWING a highly successful, sell-out UK tour at the start of 2015, legendary American songwriter, virtuoso guitarist and pianist, Nils Lofgren is returning again for a second leg of tour dates.

With such high demand off the back of the previous tour, Nils wanted to return to the other areas of the UK not covered last time.

After touring with Bruce Springstee­n as a long-time member of the E Street Band on both the 2012-13 Wrecking Ball tour and the 2014 High Hopes tour Nils is back once again to perform his own legendary live show, and he comes to Venue Cymru, Llandudno on Friday, November 6.

Known for his worldclass guitar playing, and his on-stage acrobatics, Nils is a true rock legend in his own right. A superb frontman, both with Grin and under his own name.

Recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the E Street Band, he released Face the Music back in August 2014.

Face the Music is a 10-disc retrospect­ive box set of his 45 years of recording, selected by Lofgren himself, comprises 169 tracks, stretching back to his early work with his Washington DC-area band Grin, which he founded at the age of 17 in 1968, and surveying both his major-label solo albums and independen­t selfreleas­ed music.

“Nils’ singing and guitar playing voice remains as distinctiv­e today as it has ever been” - Bruce Springstee­n

“Nils Lofgren is genu- inely one of my favourite musicians” - Sting

“Listening to Nils play and sing has been an inspiratio­n to me for many years” - Neil Young

Nils will be joined for an acoustic set by multiinstr­umentalist Greg Varlotta. Expect classic Lofgren favorites like Shine Silently, I Came to Dance, Keith Don’t Go and many others from his vast back catalogue.

Tickets are priced at Gold - £42.50, Standard - £32.50, and are from Venue Cymru Box Office on 01492 872000 or go to venuecymru.co. uk
