Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame has formed a band of his own he called the BFG Band. Gibbons, Chris Layton, and Mike Flanigan are gearing up for a tour around North America for January and February of next year.
Tickets are on sale now.
Gibbons spoke on the upcoming tour saying, “I’m joined with Whipper and The Drifter, in our collective Texas collective blues tradition. There’s a bond that speaks volumes about our sonic skew. One might hear a surf tune or some other detour of loudness as what we do is looser than our collective background might suggest. We predict good times as we always say, ‘Ya’ can’t lose with the blues.'”
