Murray Hockridge and Dave Kilminster
Guitar virtuoso Dave Kilminster, currently touring with Roger Waters' 'The Wall' in North America & Canada, is to play some special US dates in early 2011 with vocalist extraordinaire Murray Hockridge, who's emotive, soulful voice spans an incredible 3 and 1/2 octaves...
Taking a break from the current schedule before the Waters' production heads to Europe in Spring, 'Murray Hockridge & Dave Kilminster' will be performing music from their forthcoming album 'Closer To Earth', a collection of soulful and spellbinding vocal and acoustic guitar interpretations of 11 rock & soul classics.
The live sets will also include original material from both artistes' repertoires.
