It’s a new decade and a new band — Ringo Starr has assembled his 11th line up including: Edgar Winter (“Free Ride” and “Frankenstein”), Gary Wright (“Dream Weaver” and “Love is Alive”) and All Starr newcomers are Rick Derringer (“Rock and Roll, Hoochi Koo” and “Hang on Sloopy”), Richard Page of Mr. Mister (“Broken Wings and “Kyrie”) and Wally Palmar of the Romantics (“What I like About You” and “Talking in Your Sleep”), and Gregg Bissonette (Santana, ELO, David Lee Roth) returns on drums.
Ringo Starr’s music, as a solo artist and as a Beatle, is permeated with his personality. His warmth and humor, and his exceptional musicianship have given us songs we all know and love, including “With A Little Help From My Friends,” “Don’t Pass Me By,” “Octopus’ Garden,” “Photograph,” “It Don’t Come Easy,” “Back Off Boogaloo,” ” Sixteen (You’re Beautiful And You’re mine),” “Don’t Go Where the Road Don’t Go,” “The No No Song,” and “Never Without You.”
Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo Starr has been one of the world’s brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active musical collaborator, and as an actor. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock ‘n’ roll, Ringo continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring.
