It’s Winter time: Johnny ready to blitz Europe...


Johnny kicks off a three-week swing on the other side of the Atlantic this Tuesday, playing a total of six shows in the United Kingdom before tackling dates in Scotland, the Netherlands and Belgium. And in a New Jersey-style redux, he then wraps things up with five dates in Germany — again with brother Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer.

You can check out a complete list of dates here.

For a recap of last weekend's gigs -- and to see some excellent photos taken by Neil Calandra (who shot the image at right of Johnny's vintage Gibson Firebird) at the Saturday show in Mamaroneck, New York -- visit LiveBluesWorld.com.

Johnny and the Allmans light up the night...

What can we say about last weekend? A whole lot, actually. It all ended with an emotional, searing guest spot Sunday night (April 8) at New York City's Beacon Theater, with Johnny sitting in with the Allman Brothers Band, which concluded their month-long, 15-show residency. LiveBluesWorld.com's Dave Rubin saw it all.

Meanwhile, Johnny's Allmans cameo was preceded by historic gigs Friday and Saturday in the New Jersey towns of Red Bank (April 6) and Trenton (April 7). On both nights, Johnny shared the bill with none other than brother Edgar Winter and former bandmate Rick Derringer.

Keep checking back for additional photos. We're going through them as fast as we can!
