The Thin White Duke lives on thanks to this critically acclaimed act headed up by David Bowie’s longest-serving sideman — keyboardist and band leader Mike Garson — along with talented alumni of Bowie’s bands from across the decades. These guys play all the hits, plus new Bowie songs fans haven’t heard before.

press release: Following last year’s critically acclaimed tour, A BOWIE CELEBRATION: The David Bowie Alumni Tour has returned in 2019. January takes the tour to Europe–and it will touch down in North America with 33 shows starting February 6 and wrapping March 22. Tickets are on sale now: http://www.abowiecelebration.com/#tickets 

This unforgettable evening of David Bowie’s songs features keyboardist and band leader Mike Garson and fellow key alumni musicians of Bowie’s bands from across the decades. Expect powerful performances from Garson, Earl Slick, Carmine Rojas, Charlie Sexton and Mark Plati (*performing on the tour’s first five shows), plus world-class vocalists such as Bernard Fowler and Corey Glover, with additional guest vocalists on various dates including Bowie alum Emm Gryner, Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Evan Rachel Wood, Grammy nominee Gaby Moreno and many more.

Garson heads up the alumni as the longest-standing member of Bowie’s bands, performed with David at his first and last concerts in the United States as well as 1,000 concerts together around the globe in between. The band also features legendary guitarist Earl Slick, who worked on landmark Bowie albums such as Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and Reality; and Bowie’s Let’s Dance/Serious Moonlight Tour bassist Carmine Rojas. Between them, they have over 30 years experience of recording, writing and playing live with Bowie.
