DAVE STEWART IN CONCERT:
From his days as one-half of legendary synthpop outfit Eurythmics to his acclaimed country-tinged solo outings, Dave Stewart has proven himself to be a dynamic and continually evolving artist. In 2013 he released Lucky Numbers, a heady mix of rock, blues, and country that featured guest appearances from the likes of Martina McBride and Karen Elson. As usual, Stewart matched the workmanship of the album with a string of electrifying performances that have set big expectations among ticket buyers for his upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
British-born Dave Stewart got his start with folk-rock band Longdancer, landing a record deal while still in his teens with Elton John's Rocket Record Company. In 1976 he met Annie Lennox, recording with her for a short time as the Tourists before the duo eventually became the Eurythmics in 1980. Following a moderately successful 1981 debut LP, the pair launched to mainstream success in 1983 with their platinum-selling sophomore album Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), which spawned several hit singles including its chart-topping title track. The duo would continue to release hits throughout the decade before parting ways in 1990. Since then, Stewart has had an impressive career as both a producer and a solo artist, releasing nine albums including 2013's Lucky Numbers, an acclaimed collection of country rock tunes that will feature prominently on his upcoming tour dates.
