Spring Solo Shows in Spain & Italy

Sid Griffin is performing solo shows again, doing his first solo tours since Covid ruined the idea of an evening out, much less a full blown tour.

First up is Spain where Our Hero has a solid following and speaks a rather enthusiastic if poor version of that country’s beautiful language.

While most of the evening is Sid performing solo he is on occasion joined by old chum Juancho Lopez on bass and, as if your heart could stand any more excitement, he will be joined by the legendary guitarist Marcos Montoto at a few choice shows.

Both men perform with the top Spanish country-psychedelic Peralta and are known around the continental European music scene to say the very least. Montoto is a devotee of Clarence White and Redd Volkaert and does B-bender styled licks using only his fingers. Yes, you read that correctly…the man is a genius!

After Spain comes a brief break back in Blighty (say that really fast four times) and then The Squidman…called El Hombre Calamar en Espana…will travel to Italy to perform a short series of shows…

Italy is a quick swing of only four shows so blink and you will miss it. Our Hero has a varied set list to choose from and might even play selections from the Long Ryders catalog so get ready to make requests but this time, please, forget those Leonard Cohen covers. That was a one-off in Verona!
