Let The Music Do The Talking!: The Joe Perry Project Concert Review

Wow!
What a show.
I saw his solo band at The Crofoot in Pontiac, Michigan.
What a loud and rocking show it was.
Tons of deep cuts from both The Joe Perry Project, Aerosmith, and some covers.
It was amazing to be able to hear every note coming from Joe’s guitar.
I was in the second row of people so I had an amazing view.
Joe’s singer is Gary Cherone, of Extreme, Tribe of Judah, and even Van Halen.
Bassist is David Hull, who played on the original The Joe Perry Project albums, and has a been a friend of Joe’s since 1971.
On drums is Jason Sutter.
On keyboards is longtime Aerosmith keyboardist Buck Johnson.
Joe is one of the most famous musicians in the world and he’s still as great as ever.
He only did a brief tour (6 shows) and this was the last show of the tour.
He’s doing more dates with another band he’s in called The Hollywood Vampires, and he said recently that Aerosmith is supposed to announce a tour on the Howard Stern show. Stay tuned.
I’m so glad I got to see this show.
I had not seen Joe since 2014, which was the most recent time I’ve seen Aerosmith (seen them 3 times).
Aerosmith is one of my favorite bands but I also love Joe’s solo stuff too and Joe in general.
I even got to speak to him on the phone in 2009 on Eddie Trunk’s radio show.
Aside from being with my girlfriend Mariah Startzman, going to concerts is what makes me the most happy.
Opener Micky James started the show and got the place jumping, but of course, everyone was there to see Joe.
This is definitely one of my favorite shows.
