Two Legends, One Month, 14 Shows


Eric Clapton. Steve Winwood.

The names say it all. Two of the biggest legends in rock are again joining forces in a sweet co-headline, 14-city U.S. tour beginning June 10 in New Jersey.

Of course, this isn’t the first time the two rockers have worked together. Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood were charter members, along with Ginger Baker and Rick Grech, of the 1969 super group Blind Faith.

More recently, Clapton and Winwood played the 2007 Chicago Crossroads Festival. Then, they did three nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2008, considered the first full Winwood / Clapton concerts in 40 years.

Now, they are re-uniting for 14 shows across the U.S. in June.
