Frampton's Guitar Circus Adds ROBERT RANDOLPH as Special Guest

Following a massive year of touring, including 2013's inaugural Frampton's Guitar Circus, Peter Frampton is back on the road. This time Frampton will set out on a three-part catch-all tour including select solo dates, a co-headlining run with Grammy-winning American rock legends The Doobie Brothers and the return of Frampton's Guitar Circus (more dates to come). For details, please visit www.frampton.com.

Kicking off in August, Frampton's Guitar Circus will feature performances with friend and celebrated guitarist Buddy Guy as well as special guest and critically acclaimed pedal steel guitar player Robert Randolph on select dates. Randolph is best know for his work with Robert Randolph & The Family Band and has been praised by Rolling Stone as "one of the most intense live acts in all of jamdom." More surprise guests to be added.

Frampton has kept quite busy over the past year in addition to touring. He was recently inducted in the Musicians Hall of Fame, performed on-stage at the Grammy's with Ringo Starr and also played an integral part in the 50th anniversary celebration of the Beatles' arrival in the U.S. Frampton also produced Humble Pie's Rockin' The Fillmore deluxe compilation with original member Jerry Shirley (available now via Omnivore Recordings).

Moreover, Frampton's latest work, Hummingbird in a Box, will be released June 24 via RED Distribution. The new music was inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet, featuring seven original guitar pieces in Frampton's virtuosic stylings. Frampton composed all songs on the mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who also co-produced the recording. The two previously teamed up for Fingerprints, which garnered them both a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Peter Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others. His fifth solo album, the electrifying Frampton Comes Alive!, is one of the top-selling live records of all time.
