Updated Scott Kinsey tour dates - now with Kirk Covington on drums!

How I missed this news, I'll never know. Keyboardist Scott Kinsey's group now features Kirk Covington on drums for his upcoming European tour (check out the tour poster to the left for exact dates and locations). You know what that means fusion fans? Since the band also includes Scott Henderson on guitar, this band includes 3/4's of the landmark fusion group Tribal Tech. The amazing Matthew Garrison will be playing bass (Gary Willis played bass in Tribal Tech). Catch this band if you can folks!

Scott Henderson finally came back around! In an early post-TT interview, he was done working with keyboards, except for Zawinul-- who he'd play with on any chance, except that JZ passed away. Then later on, Henderson hinted around that if he ever worked with keyboards, Kinsey would be the guy.

I think he enjoyed the flexibility of the trio thing, but he had to shoulder a lot too. He's probably ready for this change of dynamic. Maybe a condition was that Willis wouldn't be aboard. SH has talked about difficulties in TT related to how loud Willis plays.

I'm just totally speculating based on bits & pieces. This oughta be a great fusion gig!!!

Of course it's a Euro tour only. So we Americanos are stuck at home with the Youtube!
