The longtime Tulsa musician recently added 29 tour dates, including a Dec. 19 show at the Wormy Dog Saloon in Oklahoma City's Bricktown district. He will also perform at the Norman Music Festival on April 25, 2010 on Norman's Main Street, the site shows.
He will also perform in New York, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Hawaii, Texas and more, the site shows.
The keyboardist, guitarist and songwriter was a pivotal figure in the blues-rock movement known as the Tulsa Sound, and has performed, recorded and toured with artists including J.J. Cale, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell, Jerry Lee Lewis, Joe Cocker, George Harrison, B.B. King, Freddie King, The Byrds and many more.
He was also part of the studio band for legendary music producer Phil Spector and owned Tulsa's Church Studio for many years before selling it to fellow musician and Tractors bandmember Steve Ripley.
