Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood in Oakland

ERIC CLAPTON and STEVE WINWOOD

On Heels of Three Exclusive Shows at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, Duo Announce Local Performance at ORACLE Arena in Oakland

Tickets are on sale Monday, March 2nd at 10am

(San Francisco, CA) – After their historic three-nights at Madison Square Garden, Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood announced today a local performance at the ORACLE Arena in Oakland on June 29th at 8:00pm. Tickets for the Oakland performance are on sale Monday, March 2nd at 10am at www.LiveNation.com.

After a stunning collaboration at the Chicago Crossroads Guitar Festival in July of 2007 and much speculation, Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton announced three eagerly anticipated concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Those shows featured the artists performing together in a varied set list with Blind Faith classics and solo hits from each artist. Critics acclaimed the shows as historic and some of the best Clapton Winwood work ever. The Oakland tour stop promises more of the same collaborative musicianship that made these men legendary award-winning artists.

Both Winwood and Clapton have long and prestigious musical careers with countless honors and awards to their names. Their musical paths connected in 1969 with the formation of Blind Faith, a group that pioneered the fusion of rock and blues into tremendous studio and stage success. Despite critical and popular acclaim, the band was short-lived with only one album and a brief 1969 tour that debuted July 12 at Madison Square Garden and ended August 24th in Hawaii. Since that final show, Winwood and Clapton have remained friends, but have only performed together a few times over the years for an occasional song at a charity event. The 2008 Madison Square Garden shows were the first full Winwood-Clapton concerts in 40 years. Additionally, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Blind Faith and 40 years since they performed to over 100,000 people in Hyde Park, London.

Steve Winwood is currently signed to Columbia Records and released an album of new music, NINE LIVES in 2008. Eric Clapton’s compilation album Complete Clapton was released in 2008 on Reprise Records. The duo’s captivating performance at the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago can be seen as part of a 2-disc DVD available now from Rhino Entertainment.

Tickets for Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood at ORACLE Arena are $149.50, $89.50 and $65.50 for reserved seats plus applicable charges and are on sale Monday, March 2nd at 10am at www.LiveNation.com, charge by phone at 415-421-TIXS or at the ORACLE Arena box office.
