Chris Rea 'The Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes'
Chris Rea, one of the UK's most respected guitarists and songwriters, is about to embark on a major tour of the UK and Europe under the guise of two new musical creations, 'The Delmonts' and 'The Fabulous Hoffner Bluenotes'.
In addition, this month he has released a groundbreaking triple CD, double vinyl and book collection which not only has perhaps some of his greatest songs to date, but wraps them in a fictional historical context that sees the birth of the rock 'n' roll in the form of beat combo 'The Delmonts' to the band's reformation years later as the older and perhaps wiser blues influenced exponents, 'The Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes'.
The European tour, including the UK leg, will see for the first time an artist perform as both the headliner and the support band, unique indeed. 'The Delmonts' will bring their late fifties style of rock 'n' roll; all songs are written by Rea and see him performing his tribute to that genre in the band, then as the headliner he will be part of the blues based 'Fabulous Hofner Bluenotes' performing many of Rea's best known songs, as well as songs from the second CD on the new release.
