Former MR. BIG Singer Preparing For Upcoming Tour

August 27, 2007

Former MR. BIG singer Eric Martin has posted a lengthy update on his official blog. An excerpt follows:

"I have been doing a lot of projects over the last year: benefits around the country, writing the never-ending solo album (I've always needed a good kick in the ass to get going),SCRAP METAL gigs, singing [background vocals] on a new TED NUGENT record, singing on a new karaoke game, a handful of shows around the globe and learning to tango…nah, just kidding. My big focus right now is my upcoming tour in Australia, South America, Europe, India and a more shows in North America. I'm calling the tour 'Live Down Under, Up And Over, Around The Horn And Back In The USA'. If all goes according to plan, I'm going to have a good time, and hopefully so will you. I do hear some talk about going back throughout Europe in December. Bring it on baby.

"I had this Idea a few years ago on how to tour overseas and keep it cost-effective and keep the music fresh. My manager (my baby's mama Denise Martin) would call promoters all around the world and book shows five months in advance, find the best rock musicians or the most popular bands in the big cities and have them learn 18 to 20 of my tunes, send MP3s back and forth and pray for the best. So far so great!! THE ROAD VULTURES, my Argentinean rock band, kick out the jams (I'm taking these boys to India). HAYSEED, from Norway, play my set bluesy, ballsy and soulful. I‘m looking forward to working with my friend John McNamara and his outfit down in Australia (virgin territory for me). I have been working with some new musicians at home as well; some of you have met them already at my last couple shows. I would love to hear what you think of these guys and girls? You heard me…girls. Yeah, I missed the soul singing so bad that I had to incorporate it back into my show."
