THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT Parts Ways With Singer CHRIS VAN DAHL
December 27, 2010THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT, the new band led by Jimmy Crespo — best known as the guitarist who replaced Joe Perry in AEROSMITH from 1979 to 1984 — has parted ways with vocalist Chris Van Dahl (formerly of L.A. GUNS). According to a press release, "It is important to the band to find a singer with his own identity who can also do justice to the Crespo-era AEROSMITH songs."
Starting in January, Jimmy will be performing with SIN CITY SINNERS in Las Vegas until the band's singer/guitarist Todd Kerns returns from touring with Slash.
Video footage of THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT performing the AEROSMITH classic "Bolivian Ragamuffin" on November 6 at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas, Nevada can be viewed below.
Crespo appeared on AEROSMITH's "Night In The Ruts" album and co-wrote the majority of songs on 1982's "Rock In A Hard Place", performing almost all the guitar duties on the LP.
After years of performing with such artists as Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks, Billy Squier, Dee Snider and Lita Ford, Jimmy has returned to center stage with THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT.
2012 will mark the 30-year anniversary of the release of "Rock In a Hard Place" and for the next two years Jimmy Crespo will let the music do the talkin'. THE JIMMY CRESPO PROJECT also has plans to release an album of origina material, that promises to pick up where classic AEROSMITH left off.
