Michael Lennon will tour Holland!!!
Jan 4, 2011
Dear Friends,
I have two exciting announcements to share. First, that the April 10th Venice show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam is now officially sold out. And second, that when the show is over and Kipp, Mark and Pat leave the Netherlands to continue their background duties on Roger Waters' "The Wall" world tour, I'm going to stick around to play some bonus shows with a brand new band of familiar faces.
Before I tell you about this new venture, I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our huge group of supporters for selling out the Melkweg show in only a couple of days. It really means the world to us to continue to feel so much love from you guys, even after being away for so long.
Once the news broke earlier in the year that I would no longer be a part of "The Wall" tour, and that Pat would take my place, I received so many incredible e-mails from many of you. Some telling me that other doors will open, some encouraging me to put my talents to use elsewhere, and some of you asking me to come to Holland on my own tour. So I've decided to do them all. And the beautiful thing is that I didn't need to go outside my own family to find this new opportunity.
This special tour of Michael Lennon with Family and Friends -- or "Ven-ish", as some have called it -- will be an acoustic based concert. Of course we'll play plenty of Venice favorites. And I'll get the pleasure and honor of sharing the stage with a group of performers who are all very special to me. We'll showcase the talents and original songs of Kipp's son Charlie Vaughn and my older brother Tom Lennon -- both of which will have brand new CDs on sale at these shows, produced by yours truly. We'll proudly feature the Holland debut of my beautiful 15-year-old daughter Avalon Lennon on lead and backing vocals. And the bass guitar duties will be handled by none other than Venice's world famous virtuoso, Mr. Mark Harris.
I hope you'll join us on this new adventure, and help us celebrate the birth of this brand new branch of our Venice Family Tree.
Tour dates, music samples and ticket info will be posted soon on www.venicecentral.com. Please keep an eye on that site for further announcements.
Thanks again to each of you for your unending support. Words can't describe how much I appreciate it.
Best, Michael - Venice
