Blues Guitar Virtuoso Eric Gales To
Perform With Lauryn Hill On The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon!
Los Angeles, CA -
Superstar guitarist Eric Gales will be performing live with one of the most
celebrated artists in modern R&B, ex-Fugee Lauryn Hill, on The Tonight Show
With Jimmy Fallon this July 30. The duo will perform “Feeling Good,” their
collaboration for the Nina Simone tribute album Nina Revisited, which
accompanies the release of a brand new Netflix exclusive documentary about the
late singer called What Happened, Miss Simone? This is not the first
time that these two talents have worked together - Hill tapped Gales to help
her record studio tracks for her as yet unreleased follow-up album to the
blockbuster The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Meanwhile, Gales’ own solo
album Good For Sumthin’, released in October of last year, has been
highly praised, and a new live CD/DVD recorded at The Viper Room is due to be
released by the end of the year. Gales will also embark on a massive world tour
taking him to India, Germany, and Sweden beginning at the end of this month.
See below for dates.
Eric Gales came
to national prominence in 1991 when he won Guitar World’s Best New
Talent award. A brilliantly dynamic performer, Gales started releasing solo albums
and wowing audiences in 2001 with a style and sound that frequently reminds
listeners of the late great Jimi Hendrix, whose upside down Fender Strat
playing Gales emulates. No wonder then that Gales was asked to headline the
extremely popular Experience Hendrix Tour joining a line-up that
includes a true who’s who of guitar masters including Eric Johnson and Zakk
Wylde both of whom make guest appearances on Good For Sumthin’. Look for
more releases from this extraordinary performer on Cleopatra Records!
