| Toto guitarist and Music Legend Steve Lukather returns to the UK and Europe due to Popular Demand |
 Following the release of his critically acclaimed new studio album "All's Well That Ends Well", and his packed UK gigs in London, Wolverhampton and Southampton earlier this month, TOTO guitarist Steve Lukather has announced a handful of rare UK solo concerts during March 2011 and an extensive European Tour.
Lukather will play the Assembly in Leamington Spa (Thursday 17th March), Manchester Club Academy (Friday 18th March), and Holmfirth Picturedrome (Saturday 19th March). Steve returns to the UK and Europe in 2011 with the same band who accompanied him on his 2010 European dates – Eric Valentine (drums), Steve Weingart (keyboards, vocals) and Renee Jones (bass guitar, vocals). "The reaction from the recent UK and European tour was incredible," says Lukather. "The All's Well That Ends Well" has received tons of amazing rave reviews and I'm really excited about coming back to the UK and the rest of Europe to perform more of my solo work with one of the best band's I've ever had the pleasure to work with." Continues Lukather, "Earlier this year I told everyone I was genuinely excited because I had some great new music to play. However I wasn't expecting the overwhelming response from the fans. I originally set out to achieve a personal best, and the plan was to work hard on all aspects of the music. It's still a journey that's for sure." For over 30 years Lukather has been known as one of the founding members of the multi-million selling, multi-Grammy Award winning band 'Toto'. His outstanding guitar playing has appeared on hundreds of albums with the biggest stars and music legends including Van Halen, Whitney Houston, Alice Cooper, George Benson, Rod Stewart and even played guitar on Michael Jackson's multi-million selling milestone album 'Thriller'. Lukather even appears on Jackon's posthumous studio album "Michael," released on December 10th. In 2009 Lukather was also inducted into Nashville's Musicians Hall of Fame. The following year he received the international Eddy Christiani Award for 33 years of guitar mastership. 01 February 2011 House of Culture , Helsinki (Finland) Related Articles: Block this music monopoly - TM/LN merger will hurt concert consumers. by David Balto (originally published at Philly.com)
