Blues-rockers JD & The Straight Shot will join the James Gang Rides Again tour for 10 shows this summer. The James Gang featuring original members Jimmy Fox, Dale Peters & Joe Walsh, will be touring the US for the first time in more than 35 years. JD & will be gigging this summer at the House of Blues in NJ, BB Kings Blues Club & Grill in NY, Ram’s Head Tavern in MD, and the Birchmere in VA.
“We are honored to ride with the James Gang and join one of our musical heroes on this tour,” states JD. “We look forward to sharing our music with a new audience and plan to have a great time.”
Playing down-and-dirty blues, JD & The Straight Shot’s debut “Nothing to Hide,” was hailed by the New York Post as “created in the spirit of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Dr. John. The disc has a bluesy, bar band feel, and Dolan’s swaggering vocals are…reminiscent of Tom Waits and Randy Newman.” JD & The Straight Shot includes vocalist/guitarist Jim Dolan; guitarist and chief songwriter Bruce Koplow; bassist Sue Williams; drummer David Longworth; and keyboardist Jonny Rosch.
