Ringo Starr announces the 11th All Starr Band

On January 12th, Ringo Starr  held a press conference in NYC at NBC Studios before taping his appearance on The  Late Show With Jimmy Fallon, to publicize the release of his new album Y  Not and formally announce his tour which will kick off on June 26th in  Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Ringo, backed by Ben Harper and his band Relentless 7 (with Jordan Richardson on double drums) performed abbreviated versions of two new songs "Walk With You," and "The  Other Side Of Liverpool,' along with the early Beatles classic "I Wanna Be  Your Man" which featured Ringo behind his signature Ludwig drum kit. 

In addition to Ringo, the 11th All Starr Band lineup features  returning All Starr's Edgar Winter on sax and keyboards and Gary Wright,  also on keyboards. Newcomers to the 2010 tour include Rick Derringer on  guitar, Mr. Mister's Richard Page on bass, and the Romantics' Wally Palmer  on guitar and harmonica. Session player Gregg Bissonette will double with  Ringo on the drums. Although more dates are expected to be announced soon,  one definite highlight of the tour will be Ringo's July 7th New York City  gig at Radio City Music Hall which falls on his 70th  birthday.
